IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method which is good in a halftone and character reproducibility by using an organic electrophotographic photoreceptor having a siloxane-base resin layer as a surface layer and an image forming device. SOLUTION: The organic electrophotographic photoreceptor in the image forming method of forming an electrostatic latent image on the organic electrophotographic photoreceptor and developing the electrostatic latent image as a toner image by a device has the surface layer having a resin formed by bonding of a siloxane condensate and an organic polymer with each other, in which the distance (Dsd) between the organic electrophotographic photoreceptor and a developing sleeve deposited with the developer has the relation of the following equation (1) with the film thickness (a) of the surface layer. Equation (1) 35a+400
