Abstract:
1. An image forming method, comprising the steps of: charging uniformly an organic photoreceptor; forming an electrostatic latent image with an imagewise exposing light source to emit a light beam having a wavelength of 350 to 500 nm onto the organic photoreceptor; and visualizing the electrostatic latent image to a toner image, wherein the organic photoreceptor, comprises: a conductive support; an intermediate layer provided on the conductive support, having a volume resistivity of 1 ×10 a photosensitive layer including a laminated charge generating layer and a laminated charge transporting layer is provided on the intermediate layer, wherein the photosensitive layer has a thickness B of 8 to 18 μm, the intermediate layer has a thickness A larger than the thickness B of the photosensitive layer and not larger than 25 μm, and the thickness A and the thickness B satisfy the following conditional expression
