Electrophotographic apparatus and image forming process

摘要

An electrophotographic apparatus comprises an electrophotographic photosensitive member, and a charging assembly, an exposure assembly, a development assembly, an image-transfer assembly, and a cleaning assembly arranged around the photosensitive member in this order, wherein the photosensitive member has a surface layer containing fluoroplastic particles; and the electrophotographic apparatus further comprises a polishing assembly for polishing the surface of the photosensitive member after the transfer assembly and before the cleaning assembly. <MATH>
