Kind Code: A1 The invention relates to a photoreceptor surface condition, a blade edge torsion caused by a high friction coefficient of the photoreceptor surface, and the like, a photoreceptor surface roughness, a toner particle form, a corona product, and a residual powder (paper). Provided are an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, and a process cartridge which can suppress the generation of filming caused by the action of powder, toner constituents and the like, and maintain an S / N and a good image quality with good resolution. A 10-point average roughness Rz JIS is 0.3 to 1.0 μm and a maximum height Rz is 0.4 to 1.5 μm. By applying the lubricant 201 to the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member 1 and simultaneously operating the cleaning brush 7-1 and the cleaning blade 7-2, 10,000 sheets (in terms of an electrophotographic photosensitive member of φ30 mm) are obtained. An image forming apparatus, wherein an image is formed by maintaining an average wear amount (t) of a photosensitive layer in a range of 0.1 μm ≦ t ≦ 0.5 μm. [Selection] Fig. 2 |
