An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier for carrying an electrostatic latent image, a developer carrier for developing the electrostatic latent image of the image carrier with a developer, a developer regulating member that regulates a thickness of a layer of the developer held by the developer carrier, and a supply member that supplies the developer to the developer carrier. An absolute value of a voltage applied to the developer regulating member is larger than an absolute value of a voltage applied to the supply member.
