Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive rubber roller as a transfer roller, used inside an intermediate transfer belt of a color image forming apparatus, the conductive sponge roller slightly sticking to the transfer belt. SOLUTION: By the addition of an inorganic oxide to a composition of sponge rubber of the conductive sponge rubber roller, having a rubber layer formed around a conductive core material, the area of the contact of the intermediate transfer belt with a rubber main component of the conductive rubber roller is reduced. The inorganic oxide and carbon black are added under the condition where 25.5 vol.%≤a+b≤54.5 vol.%, wherein (a) is the amount of the added oxide and (b) is the amount of the added carbon black.
