Abstract
As an urging memberurges a front surface side rolleragainst a back surface side roller, the front surface side rollerand the back surface side rollerbring an intermediate transfer beltand a recording mediuminto pressure contact with each other at a secondary transfer position. The thermal capacity per unit surface area of each one of the front surface side rollerand the back surface side rolleris larger than the thermal capacity per unit surface area of the intermediate transfer belt. Further, the thermal capacity per unit surface area of the back surface side rolleris larger than the thermal capacity per unit surface area of the front surface side roller
