Abstract

A surface abrading method of an electrophotographic photoreceptor is disclosed, comprising abrading the surface of a photosensitive layer with an abrading member entrained about a backup roll with feeding the abrading member and rotating the photoreceptor, while moving the abrading member parallel to a rotating shaft of the photoreceptor with bringing the abrading member into contact with the photosensitive layer surface, wherein the abrading member comprises a solid body on a backing material, the solid body contains abrasive grains and is provided on the backing material brought into contact with the photosensitive layer surface, and the top face of the solid body exhibits a surface roughness (Ry) of from 4.0 to 8.0 μm.
