Abstract
An image formation system where, when an intermediate transfer body B having a resistivity change layer B,whose volume resistivity lowers in a state in which predetermined physical stimulation (light application, etc.,) passes through an electricity removal area Q,after secondary transfer is executed, physical stimulation is given to the intermediate transfer body B for lowering the volume resistivity of the intermediate transfer body B and in this state, electricity of the intermediate transfer body B is removed.
