PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus having a long service life, by combining an electrophotographic photoreceptor and a cleaning means, including a cleaning blade.SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: an electrophotographic photoreceptor 10, having at least a photosensitive layer on a conductive substrate and containing fluororesin particles and a binding resin including a structure unit (A); and a cleaning blade 72, comprising a laminated body of a first layer in contact with the electrophotographic photoreceptor 10 and a second layer that is not in contact with the electrophotographic photoreceptor 10, wherein the type-A durometer hardness of the first layer is higher than that of the second layer and is ≥A77 and ≤A85, and the rebound resilience at 23° of the second layer is ≥35% and ≤45% for the cleaning balde 72. |
