Image forming method, and image forming apparatus and process cartridge using the image forming method

摘要

An image forming method including forming a toner image on an image bearing member; transferring the toner image onto a receiving material; and then cleaning the surface of the image bearing member with a cleaning member while applying a voltage to the cleaning member such that the cleaning member electrostatically attracts toner particles remaining on the image bearing member, wherein the image bearing member has, as an outermost layer, a crosslinked charge transport layer comprising a crosslinked resin including at least one unit obtained from at least one radical polymerizable polyfunctional monomer having three or more radical polymerizable functional groups and no charge transport structure, and a unit obtained from a radical polymerizable functional monomer having one or more radical polymerizable functional groups and a charge transport structure. An image forming apparatus and a process cartridge using the image forming method are also provided.
