Abstract: An endless intermediate transfer belt includes a substrate layer, and a surface layer to be disposed on the substrate layer. The surface layer is configured by a polymerized cured product of a radical polymerizable composition including a radical polymerizable monomer having a radical polymerizable functional group, an oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator having a carbazole structure, and a metal oxide particle subjected to surface treatment. The radical polymerizable functional group corresponds to one or both of an acryloyl group and a methacryloyl group. The metal oxide particle subjected to surface treatment includes a metal oxide particle, and a substance for support, to be supported on a surface of the metal oxide particle.

Abstract: Inside the body of an image forming device, first to fifth electric charge providers are mounted in a first location out of a path of an air flow to the suction unit caused by the action of the suction unit, and a sixth electric charge provider is mounted in a second location through which external air flows in the body caused by the action of the suction unit. Each electric charge provider emits charges in ambient air to cause ultrafine particles floating in the ambient air to clump together.
