Abstract

An electrophotographic image forming method employing a photoreceptor is disclosed. The decrease &Dgr;Hd (in &mgr;m), in layer thickness per rotation in wear test of the organic electrophotographic photoreceptor defined in the specification, is in the range of 0&lE;&Dgr;Hd<1×10−5, and a toner used in said development process is one which is obtained by suspension-polymerizing a polymerizable composition consisting of at least a polymerizable monomer and a colorant in a water based medium or one which is obtained by fusing resinous particles in a water based medium.
