Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a charging member, a charging power source, a developing member, a transfer member, a transfer power source, an acquiring portion, and a controller. The controller controls a charging voltage to be a first charging voltage when an electric resistance value of the transfer member is a first resistance value and to be a second charging voltage not less than the first charging voltage in absolute value when the electric resistance value is a second resistance value lower than the first resistance value, and so that a change amount of the charging voltage when the electric resistance value is changed from the second resistance value to a third resistance value lower than the second resistance value is greater than a change amount of the charging voltage when the electric resistance value is changed from the first resistance value to the second resistance value.
