Abstract

An electrophotographic image forming method in which, after transferring a toner image on an electrophotographic photoreceptor onto a recording material, the residual toner on said photoreceptor is removed employing an elastic body rubber blade is disclosed. The photoreceptor has structural units exhibiting charge transport performance; also has a resin layer comprising a siloxane based resin having a crosslinked structure; said rubber blade is brought into contact with said photoreceptor in the opposite direction; and the residual toner on said photoreceptor is removed by vibrating said rubber blade at an amplitude of 10 to 200 .mu.m
