PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus mounted with a high-performance photoreceptor whose surface hydrophobicity is enhanced to a degree that does not require heater for heating the photoreceptor. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is equipped with a photoreceptor having a photoconductive layer 4 and a surface protective layer 5 on a conductive substrate; a charging means for imparting charges to the photoreceptor; an exposure means for irradiating the charged region of the photoreceptor with light where charges are given by the charging means; a developing means for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor by the charging means and the exposure means with toner, to form a toner image; a transfer means for transferring the toner image onto a transfer material; a cleaning means for removing the toner remaining on the photoreceptor; and a destaticizing means for removing the residual electrostatic latent image remaining on the photoreceptor. The surface protective layer 5 of the photoreceptor comprises a plurality of layers of fluorinated amorphous layers 6e, comprising amorphous silicon carbide or amorphous carbon and 12 to 35 atomic% of fluorine, and has a dynamic indentation hardness of 90 to 500 kgf/mm<SP>2</SP>. The toner contains abrasive particles. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
