Electrophotographic process using, as photosensitive material (1), a single layer organic photosensitive material having an absorbance, at a maximum absorption wavelength in the visible spectrum, of at least 0.05 per µm of the thickness of a photosensitive layer, and wherein charge is eliminated from the photosensitive material by irradiation using a light-emitting diode (8) which emits light having a wavelength maximum corresponding to the absorption maximum of the photosensitive material. When carrying out repeated image formation using the process of the invention reduction in surface potential can be effectively prevented providing improved image formation.
