To provide an image forming apparatus that can form fine images.
The image forming apparatus includes: an ink solid film forming part (30); an ink image forming part (40) to which an ink solid film (33) formed in the ink solid film forming part is transferred and an ink image (43) is formed; and an ink image transfer part (60) to which the ink image is transferred. The ink solid film forming part has a rotary drum (31) and a solid film forming blanket (32) formed on the surface of the rotary drum, and the ink image forming part has the transfer drum (41) and the imaging blanket (42) formed on the surface of the transfer drum. The topmost surface of the solid film forming blanket is composed of a first surface rubber (32-1), the topmost surface of the imaging blanket is composed of a second surface rubber (42-1), unevenness is formed in the surface on which the transfer drum of the second surface rubber does not exist, and the surface energy of the second surface rubber is larger than the surface energy of the first surface rubber.
