摘要： An image forming apparatus is provided, which provides a recording liquid to an intermediate transfer body to perform image forming. Using an intermediate transfer body 37 onto which a conductive recording liquid containing water that is ejected by heads 61Y, 61M, 61C, and 61BK (below called a head 61) is provided; and a potential applying unit 33 which applies a potential which can electrolyze the water within the conductive recording liquid which is ejected from the head 61 and which temporarily bridges between the head 61 and the intermediate transfer body 37, the potential applying unit 33 applies a potential between the intermediate transfer body 37 and electrodes 65Y, 65M, 65C, and 65BK which are in contact with the recording liquid in supplying units 62Y, 62M, 62C, and 62BK which supply the recording liquid to the head 61.
