Abstract:
1. An image forming process comprising: forming an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image carrier, developing the electrostatic latent image using a toner, thereby forming a visible image, transferring the visible image to a recording medium, and cleaning the electrostatic latent image carrier using a cleaning unit, wherein the electrostatic latent image carrier comprises: a support, and a photoconductive layer which comprises a charge generating layer, a charge transportable layer, and a cross-linked charge transportable layer which are disposed on the support in this order and the cross-linked charge transportable layer comprises a compound produced by the reaction between a trifunctional or more functional radical-polymerizable compound having no charge transportable structure, and a monofunctional radical-polymerizable compound having a charge transportable structure, and the toner is produced in the form of particles by producing an adhesive base material through reacting a compound having an active hydrogen group with a polymer which can be reacted with the compound having an active hydrogen group in an aqueous medium.
