Abstract:
1. A method of forming a toner image, comprising steps of: electrically charging an electrophotographic photoreceptor by contacting a charging device to the photoreceptor; imagewise exposing the photoreceptor so that a latent image is formed on the photoreceptor; and developing the latent image with toner so that a toner image is formed on the photoreceptor; wherein the photoreceptor comprises an interlayer with a thickness of from 5 to 25 μm, the interlayer containing anatase titanium oxide particles which contain niobium element in an amount of from 100 ppm to 2.0% by weight, and a charge generation layer and a charge transfer layer with a thickness of from 5 to 20 μm each provided on an electroconductive substrate.
