Abstract
To provide an electrophotographic image forming method, an electro-photographic image forming apparatus, and a processing cartridge and an electrophotographic photoreceptor to be used therein, by which an electrophotographic image with a high image quality can be stably obtained in a condition of high temperature and high humidity.In an electrophotographic image forming method including cleaning a toner remained on a photoreceptor by a brush roller and an elastic rubber blade after transferring a toner image formed on the photoreceptor to an image receiving material, wherein the photoreceptor has a resin layer comprising a siloxane resin having an electric charge transportable structural unit and a cross-linked structure, the thickness of the single filament and the density of the filament of the brush roller are each from 3 denier to 30 denier and from 4.5×102 to 15.5×102 f/cm2 (number of filament per square centimeter), respectively, and the pressure of the elastic rubber blade to the photoreceptor surface is from 5 to 30 g/cm.
