    摘要: An image forming apparatus, wherein the following formulae are satisfied: 0.22 ≤ ( M / S ) L ≤ 0.4 ,  ( Q M ) L = Vc ( Lt 2  ɛ 0  ɛ t + Ld ɛ 0  ɛ d ) × ( M S ) L ( Dt   max - Dt 0.1 ) { λ × ( M S ) L - 0.1 }  ( Lt 2  ɛ 0  ɛ t + Ld ɛ 0  ɛ d ) × ( M S ) L 500 ≤ αβ ≤ ( Dt   max - Dt 0.1 ) { λ × ( M S ) L - 0.1 }  ( Lt 2  ɛ 0  ɛ t + Ld ɛ 0  ɛ d ) × ( M S ) L 150 αβ ≥ ( Dt   max - Dt 0.1 ) { λ × ( M S ) L - 0.1 } 150 where (M/S)L: a toner bearing amount in a maximum density image portion of a photosensitive drum, (Q/M)L: an average charge amount of the toner in the maximum density portion, Vc: an absolute value of a potential difference between a DC-component of a developing bias and the maximum density portion, Lt: a toner layer thickness of the maximum density portion, Ld: a drum thickness, εt: a relative permittivity of the toner layer, εd: a relative permittivity of the drum, ε0: a vacuum permittivity, Dtmax: a transmission density in a maximum density image portion on the paper after fixation, Dt0.1: a transmission density in an image on the paper when the toner bearing amount on the paper after fixation is 0.1 mg/cm2, and λ: a transfer efficiency of the toner, α = ( Dt   max - Dt 0.1 ) { λ × ( M S ) L - 0.1 } ,  and   β = 1 / ( Q / M ) L .
