An electrophotographic photoreceptor and a method for producing the same are disclosed, in which stability of coating solution of a photoreceptive layer is improved. The photoreceptor comprises a conductive support having thereon a photoreceptive layer containing a binder, a titanylphthalocyanine which has a peak in X-ray diffraction spectrum thereof by Cu-K alpha ray at a Bragg angle 2 theta of 27.2 DEG +/-0.2 DEG , and an organic solvent soluble phthalocyanine represented by the following formula I; <IMAGE> (I) wherein X1, X2, X3 and X4 are each an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or a an aryloxy group, these groups each may have a substituent; M is a metal atom; Y is a halogen atom, an oxygen atom, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, or a siloxy group, these organic groups may have a substituent; k, 1, m and n are each an integer of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; and p is an integer of 0, 1 or 2. |
