PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of the production of a roller for electrophotography for forming a covering layer which has uniform thickness and where the defects of ruggedness are restrained by preventing air bubbles from adhering to a coated surface and preventing liquid draw in the case of forming the covering layer by a horizontal dip method. SOLUTION: In this method for producing the roller, (a) the outer peripheral surface of a roller-shaped elastic body 10 is immersed in a coating liquid 14 in a state where its major axis direction is nearly horizontal to the liquid level of the coating liquid 14 while rotating the elastic body 10, (b) the outer peripheral surface is brought into contact with a blade surface 16a, (c) the outer peripheral surface is separated from the blade surface 16a by a gap distanceδ, and then (d) the elastic body 10 is separated from the liquid level of the coating liquid and a coating film is dried, thereby the covering layer is formed. |
