INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT, TRANSFER DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

To provide an intermediate transfer belt that is excellent in transfer efficiency and cleaning properties.SOLUTION: An intermediate transfer belt is formed of a single-layer resin layer or a laminate having the resin layer as an outermost surface layer. The arithmetic average surface height Sa of a surface of the resin layer is 0.005 μm or more and 0.020 μm or less. The maximum height Sz of the surface of the resin layer is 0.050 μm or more and 0.200 μm or less. The surface of the resin layer has periodical recesses with a depth of 0.050 μm or more, and the period of the recesses is 0.20 μm or more and 0.80 μm or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】転写効率とクリーニング性に優れた中間転写ベルトの提供。【解決手段】樹脂層の単層体、又は前記樹脂層を最表面層として有する積層体からなり、前記樹脂層の表面の算術平均面高さＳａが０．００５μｍ以上０．０２０μｍ以下であり、前記樹脂層の表面の最大高さＳｚが０．０５０μｍ以上０．２００μｍ以下であり、前記樹脂層の表面に、深さ０．０５０μｍ以上の周期的な凹部を有し、かつ前記凹部の周期が０．２０μｍ以上０．８０μｍ以下ある、中間転写ベルト。【選択図】図１
