The present invention provides an intermediate transfer belt, wherein: the
intermediate transfer belt is made from a resin material comprising a
carbon black in a dispersed state; an absolute value of a difference
between a common logarithm value of surface resistivity 10 seconds after
voltage application and a common logarithm value of the surface
resistivity 30 milliseconds after voltage application is about 0.2 ((Log
.OMEGA./.quadrature.) or less; and a Young's modulus thereof is about
3,500 MPa or more. The intermediate transfer belt is preferably formed by
a process comprising: dispersing the carbon black in a polyamide acid
solution to prepare a dispersant; developing the dispersant in a
ring-like shape to form a developing layer; drying the developing layer
to make a film to mold into a belt shape to form a molded article; and
heat-treating the molded article to convert polyamide acid into imide.
