Abstract:
An intermediate transfer member includes: a base layer; an elastic layer that is disposed on the base layer; and a surface layer that is disposed on the elastic layer, wherein, when a breaking elongation of the surface layer is Ah, and a breaking elongation of the elastic layer is Ad, Ad/Ah=4 to 100 is satisfied, and when a linear expansion coefficient of the surface layer is Bh, and a linear expansion coefficient of the elastic layer is Bd, Bd/Bh=0.8 to 2 is satisfied.
