An image forming apparatus provided with a photosensitive member (101), a charging device (102) for charging the photosensitive member (101), a developing device (104) for developing an electrostatic image formed on the photosensitive member (101) by a developer, a cleaning blade (107a) for removing the developer residual on the photosensitive member (101), a rubbing member (107b) provided upstream of the cleaning blade (107a) in the direction of rotation of the photosensitive member (101) for rubbing the photosensitive member (101) to assist the cleaning blade (107a) in cleaning, and a controller (DH) for controlling the surface temperature of the photosensitive member (101), wherein the photosensitive member (101) has the HU (universal hardness value) of 150 N/mm 2 or greater and 220 N/mm 2 or less, and the elastic deformation rate of 43% or greater and 65% or less. |
