To provide an image forming apparatus suppressing generation of carrier flaws on an image holder surface compared to a configuration that does not include a magnetic force generating device.
The image forming apparatus 10 includes a magnetic force generating device 40, wherein the magnetic force generating device 40 is disposed on the downstream side, along the rotation direction of an image holder 12 than the position where a developing device 18 is disposed, as well as in the upstream side, along the rotation direction of the image holder 12 than the position where a transfer device 20 is disposed. The magnetic force generating device 40 is disposed on the side of a conveyance passage 34 of a recording medium P, where the transfer device 20 is disposed (on a side opposite to the image holder 12 via the conveyance passage 34), and generates a magnetic force directed toward the surface of the image holder 12 via the recording medium P.
