Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a charging roller, a cleaning roller, an urging member and an image forming portion. The charging roller has an outermost surface layer including an electroconductive resin material, first surface particles having an average particle size of more than 7 μm and less than 30 μm and second surface particles having an average particle size of more than 2 μm and less than 6 μm. The first and second surface particles are dispersed in the electroconductive resin material so as to form first projections and second projections, respectively.
