Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a developer image carrier, first and second image forming units and first and second transfer parts that are arranged sandwiching the developer image carrier with the first and second image forming units. One of the first image forming unit and the first transfer part moves away from the develop image carrier so that the one of the first image forming unit and the first transfer part has two different positions (an image forming position and a non-image forming position). The image forming apparatus further comprises a pressing force variable mechanism that increases the second pressing force between the second image forming unit and the second transfer part when the one of the first image forming unit and the first transfer part moves from the image forming position to the non-image forming position.
