Summary:A cleaning blade (62) for an intermediate transfer medium is provided. A cleaning target of the cleaning blade is an intermediate transfer medium. The cleaning blade includes an edge layer (622a) and a coating layer (623). The coating layer (623) provided on a forefront end of the edge layer (622a) at which the edge layer (622a) contacts the intermediate transfer medium contains a first fluorine-based resin and a second fluorine-based resin incompatible with the first fluorine-based resin. The cleaning blade (62) for an intermediate transfer medium has a Martens hardness of 0.5 N/mm2 or greater and 3 N/mm2 or less at a location having a distance of 20 µm from a ridgeline of the forefront end of the edge layer (622a).
