Image forming apparatus

Abstract

Abstract There is provided an image-forming device including: a photosensitive member having a photosensitive layer including an organic photoconductive material, a charging devices, an image exposure devices for exposing the pre-transfer material to form a latent image, a developing devices for developing the latent image with a toner to form a transferable toner image on the surface of the photosensitive member, a pre-transfer exposure devices for exposing the photosensitive member carrying the toner image, and a transfer devices for transferring the toner image to a transfer material; the charging devices, image exposure devices, developing devices pre-transfer exposure devices, and transfer devices are disposed in this order along the moving direction of the photosensitive member; wherein the light from the pre-transfer exposure devices is scattered light and the intensity of the scattered light is two or more times that of the light used for the image exposure. Such an image-forming devices can stably transfer a toner image from a photosensitive member to a transfer material and can provide an image of good quality without a ghost image.
