PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation device in which metal soap particles easily pass through the edge part of a blade and it becomes easy for the metal soap particles to be coated on the surface of an image carrier, and a film of the metal soap particles is formed on the surface of the image carrier evenly and efficiently. ! SOLUTION: An image formation device 100 is configured that includes: a development device 41 for developing, with a toner, an electrostatic image on the surface of a photoreceptor drum 1 composed of a primary charging device 2 and an exposure device 3; a cleaning device 14, having a blade 14a abutting on the photoreceptor drum 1 in the counter direction, for cleaning a toner 31 after transfer from the photoreceptor drum 1; and a supply device 34, facing the surface of the photoreceptor drum 1, for supplying metal soap particles 32, the average grain size of the metal soap particles 32 being 0.1 μm ≤ average grain size of the metal soap particles 32 < average grain si |
