Abstract:
An electrophotographic image forming method comprising the step of cleaning a toner remained on an electrophotographic photoreceptor by a brush roller and an elastic rubber blade after transferring a toner image formed on the electrophotographic photoreceptor to an image receiving material, wherein the photoreceptor has a resin layer comprising a siloxane resin having an electric charge transportable structural unit and a cross-linked structure, the thickness of the single filament is from 6 denier to 30 denier and the density of the filament of the brush roller is from 4.5Ã—102 to 15.5Ã—102 f/cm2 (number of filament per square centimeter), and the pressure of the elastic rubber blade to the photoreceptor surface is from 5 to 30 g/cm.
