<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method having excellent cleaning performance by solving the problem of the conventional cleaning technique, and an image forming device using the image forming method. SOLUTION: In this image forming method, a toner image is formed by using developer incorporating polymer toner on an electrophotographic photoreceptor and residual toner left after transferring the toner image to transfer material is removed by a cleaning device. In the method, the cleaning device has a conductive or semiconductive brush roll and a cleaning blade arranged on the more downstream side in the moving direction of the photoreceptor than the brush roll, and then the residual toner on the photoreceptor is removed by applying bias voltage having a reverse polarity to the toner to the brush roll and controlling the toner removing rate of the brush roll to be 30 to 70%.</p> |
