An electrophotographic endless belt has a belt-like substrate, and a meandering-preventive member for preventing the electrophotographic endless belt from meandering and a position detection member for detecting a prescribed position of the electrophotographic endless belt. The meandering preventive member is, disposed on the inner-periphery side of one end portion of the belt-like substrate, and the position detection member is disposed on the outer-periphery side of the other end portion of the belt-like substrate. The meandering-preventive member and the position detection member are kept apart by a distance of from 200 mm to 250 mm in the width direction of the electrophotographic endless belt. A process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus employ such an electrophotographic endless belt as an intermediate transfer belt.

A method of manufacturing an electrophotographic seamless belt, includes setting a substantially cylindrical preform made of a thermoplastic resin mixture containing a thermoplastic resin and having an outer diameter “a”, in a seamless belt molding die including a cylindrical cavity having an inner diameter “b”, and stretch blow molding at a predetermined stretch temperature T1 to obtain a stretch-blow-molded part; and cutting the stretch-blow-molded part to obtain a seamless belt. The thermoplastic resin mixture has a temperature T2 at which a parameter S/P calculated from a tensile-stress to strain curve obtained by performing a JIS K7161 test on a sheet test piece made of the thermoplastic resin mixture is 2.0 to 15.0 T2 is set as the predetermined stretch temperature T1. P indicates stress when a stretch magnification is 0.6×(b/a) and S indicates stress when the stretch magnification is 1.6×(b/a) and (b/a)≧1.7.
