A polyimide resin film includes: a first layer that contains an imide resin, a bond composition ratio of a sum of a CN bond and a CO bond to bonds of all C elements that are present in a surface of the first layer being 4 atm % or more, and a second layer that is provided on the surface of the first layer.

An image forming apparatus includes a toner conveyance device and a controller. The toner conveyance device includes a casing, a screw and a film. The casing has a toner conveyance path. The screw rotates in a first rotational direction to convey a toner stored in the toner conveyance path in a predetermined conveyance direction. The film is attached to the screw and rotating together with the screw while coming into contact with an inner face of the toner conveyance path to be elastically deformed. The controller executes a toner conveyance control to rotate the screw and the film in a first rotational direction and a reverse rotation control to rotate the screw and the film in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction.

An image forming apparatus includes image forming units, a transfer unit that transfers a superposed toner image including toner images formed by the image forming units onto a sheet, a fixing unit that fixes the superposed toner image onto the sheet, and a controller that performs control such that a toner image is formed while the amount of toner used per unit area by the second image forming unit when forming a line image is smaller than that when forming a solid image. The image forming units include a first image forming unit that forms a toner image that is transferred onto the transfer unit relatively earlier than the other toner images and a second image forming unit that forms a toner image that is transferred onto the transfer unit relatively later than the other toner images, the first and second image forming units using the same color toner.

Provided is an electrophotographic belt having excellent creep resistance and digital reproducibility. The electrophotographic belt is composed of a biaxially stretched cylindrical film, and the film includes a matrix including a thermoplastic resin and an electroconductive domain including an ionic electroconductive agent, and when a surface resistivity of the film in a circumferential direction is defined as A, and a surface resistivity of the film in a direction orthogonal to the circumferential direction is defined as B, AB is satisfied, and a tensile modulus of elasticity of the film in the circumferential direction is 1.0 GPa or more and 3.0 GPa or less.

An endless belt includes a resin, and particles having an average primary particle diameter of 8 nm or more and 20 nm or less. In a volume frequency distribution of the particles determined by small-angle X-ray scattering measurement, the ratio (area B/area A) of graph area B of a particle diameter region of over 35 nm to graph area A of a particle diameter region of 35 nm or less is 0.3 or less.

A resin belt for an image forming apparatus includes a resin base layer containing a filler. The exposed area of the filler on an inner circumferential surface side of the resin base layer is 0.1% or less.

A transport device includes a first belt member, a second belt member, a first roller, a second roller, a third roller, a fourth roller, a fifth roller, and a sixth roller. The second belt member is in contact with the first belt member to form a contact portion in cooperation with the first belt member. The first roller is capable of adjusting a tilt in a longitudinal direction of the first roller. The second roller is capable of adjusting a tilt in a longitudinal direction of the second roller. The third and fourth rollers are located adjacent to the first roller. The fifth and sixth rollers are located adjacent to the second roller. The third roller, the fourth roller, the fifth roller, and the sixth roller each have a uniform diameter in a longitudinal direction of the roller, and are disposed at positions other than the contact portion.
