<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device, an image forming method, and an image forming device which forma a satisfactory electrophotographic image free from image defects by holding a cleaning performance for a long time at the time of using an organic photosensitive body and a polymerized toner. SOLUTION: An electrostatic latent image formed on a cylindrical organic photosensitive body is developed by a developer containing the toner, and the toner image developed by this development is transferred from the cylindrical organic photosensitive body to a transfer material, and thereafter, the toner remaining on the cylindrical organic photosensitive body is removed by a cleaning blade. The cleaning device having this cleaning inequality blade is so designed that the free length of the cleaning blade may satisfy 1 (1/12)<=L/D<=(1/2) with respect to the diameter of the cylindrical organic photosensitive body and the impact resilience (JISK6301 inequality (measured temperature 25 deg.C/50%)) of the cleaning blade may satisfy 2 30<=H<=85 (unit: %).</p> |
