Patent ID: 7183027

Claim:
An image forming method comprising: preparing an electrophotographic photoreceptor which comprises: a conductive support; and a photosensitive layer disposed on the conductive support, wherein the photosensitive layer on the farthest side from the conductive support, includes a surface layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of: i) fluorine based resin fine particles; ii) a carbonate resin containing at least one of: a copolymer having two or more repeating units selected from the group consisting of formula (I), (II), (III) and (IV) shown below; and a mixture containing two or more homopolymers having a repeating unit selected from the group consisting of formula (I), (II), (III) and (IV); and iii) an acrylate resin containing at least one of: a copolymer having a repeating unit represented by the formula (VIII) and one or more repeating units selected from the group consisting of the formula (V), (VI) and (VII); and a mixture of one or more homopolymers having a repeating unit selected from the group consisting of the formula (V), (VI) and (VII) and a homopolymer having a repeating unit represented by the formula (VIII) shown below: where R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; R 3 and R 4 each independently represents a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group; R 5 and R 6 each independently represents a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group; R 7 and R 8 each independently represents a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group; R 9 to R 12 each independently represents a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; R 13 and R 14 each independently represents a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group; W 1 to W 4 each independently represents a divalent organic group having an aromatic ring; X represents a divalent organic group having a single ring or multiple rings; Y 1 and Y 2 each independent represents an alkylene group; k 1 to k 8 each represents an integer of from 0 to 4; and n represents an integer of from 0 to 150; preparing a coated paper, wherein the coated paper comprises a substrate and a coated layer disposed on at least on surface of the substrate, the coated layer contains at least one of an adhesive containing latex having a glass transition temperature of 20° C. or higher and a pigment, and a surface, opposite to the substrate, of the coated layer has a glossiness of 10 % or more; charging the electrophotographic photoreceptor; exposing the charged electrophotographic photoreceptor to form an electrostatic latent image; developing the electrostatic latent image with a toner to form a toner image; and transferring the toner image from the electrophotographic photoreceptor to the coated paper.
