A charge roller includes a core, a resistive layer disposed on a circumferential surface of the core to charge an image-bearing member without contact, and gap members formed of tape-shaped films. These films are fixed to both ends of the charge roller by winding each of the films in a direction opposite a rotational direction of the charge roller in use and perpendicular to the axial direction thereof to form n layers (wherein n≧2) extending in the axial direction at every position in the circumferential direction of the charge roller. The gap members are pressed against a circumferential surface of an image-bearing member to define a charge gap between the image-bearing member and the charge roller.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes, a plurality of liquid ejecting sections ejecting liquid, and a liquid supplying flow path. In the device, an upstream side of the liquid supplying flow path is coupled to the liquid supplying source while a downstream side of the liquid supplying flow path branches into a plurality of flow paths at a branch point and each of the plurality of flow paths is coupled to one of the liquid ejecting sections. In the liquid supplying flow path, an average flow path resistance value of a flow path upstream of the branch point serving as a reference is smaller than an average flow path resistance value of a flow path having the smallest average flow path resistance value among average flow path resistance values of flow paths downstream of the branch point serving as the reference.

A cleaning blade anti-peeling apparatus includes a transfer apparatus that transfers a toner image formed on an image carrier to an endless transfer member. An image carrier cleaning member captures toner remaining on the image carrier after the toner image is transferred. A cleaning recovery member recovers the toner on the image carrier cleaning member. A bias applying apparatus applies a bias voltage to move the toner of the image carrier cleaning member to the image carrier. An endless transfer member cleaning blade removes toner adhering to the endless transfer member after the toner image of the endless transfer member is transferred to a transfer material while abutting against the endless transfer member. The following relationship is satisfied: cleaning recovery member width
