RECYCLING METHOD FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, RECYCLED ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recycling method for an electrophotographic photoreceptor by which the electrophotographic photoreceptor can easily, inexpensively and repeatedly be reused in a short time, and to provide a recycled electrophotographic photoreceptor, a process cartridge and an image forming device using the recycling method. SOLUTION: In this recycling method for the electrophotographic photoreceptor, which is the laminated type electrophotographic photoreceptor having a photoreceptive layer constituted by laminating a charge generating layer and a charge transporting layer on conductive substrate in this order, the fluctuation of the film thickness of the recycled photoreceptive layer of an image part is set within 3.0μm with reference to average film thickness by forming the recycled photoreceptive layer in accordance with the film thickness of the residual layer of the charge transporting layer of the electrophotographic photoreceptor after or while detecting the film thickness of the residual layer thereof.
