IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method which is capable of maintaining cleaning performance for a long period of time and forming good electrophotographic images when an organic photoreceptor having a siloxane- base resin layer as a surface layer and polymer toners are used and an image forming device. SOLUTION: This image forming method is characterized in that the the organic photoreceptor has the surface layer containing the resin formed by bonding of the silixane condensate and the organic polymer to each other and that the following equation 1 and equation 2 are satisfied when the average value of the dynamic torque value generated between the organic photoreceptor and a cleaning blade is defined as Y0 of the case a toner image is not formed on the organic photoreceptor and the average value of the dynamic torque value of the case the toner image is formed on the organic photoreceptor at 100% blackening rate as Y100: The formula 1 0.2>=Y100-Y0>=0.01 The formula 2 2.95>=Y100/Y0>=1.15 (the unit of Y100, Y0: N.m).
