Reduced are interferential streaks in a halftone image, which are produced when using a cylindrical photoreceptor conductive substrate having been subjected to tool bit cutting processing, and provided are an electrophotographic photoreceptor capable of obtaining high image quality in response to a light printing field or the like and an image forming method employing the electrophotographic photoreceptor. Disclosed is an electrophotographic photoreceptor possessing a cylindrical substrate having been finished via cutting processing and provided thereon, a photosensitive layer, wherein among peaks other than at a lag of 0 in a correlogram of a substrate surface profile in a direction along a central axis of the substrate, a mean value from a maximum peak in height to a third peak in height is 0.3-0.8, each of the peaks in height corresponding to an autocorrelation coefficient. |
