Abstract
An electrophotographic photoconductor has an electroconductive support, and an undercoat layer and a photoconductive layer which are successively overlaid on the support, the undercoat layer containing an inorganic pigment and a crosslinked N-alkoxymethylated polyamide or a crosslinked material of an N-alkoxymethylated polyamide and a melamine resin as a binder resin. The method of producing the photoconductor is also disclosed. An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is provided with the aforementioned photoconductor, a charging unit, and a developing unit. A process cartridge is provided with the photoconductor, and at least one of a charging unit, a light exposure unit, a developing unit, or an image transfer unit. An electrophotographic image forming process has the steps of forming a latent electrostatic image on the photoconductor, and developing the latent electrostatic image to a visible image by reversal development.
