Disclosed is a toner for use in an image forming apparatus using an amorphous silicon photoconductor as a latent image carrier, and having a cleaning blade for removing the toner remaining on the photoconductor after a transfer step. The toner has a friction coefficient with the photoconductor in a range of 0.3 to 0.6. At least inorganic fine particles such as titanium oxide are externally added to the toner. The inorganic fine particles have a number-average primary particle size of 30 nm or more.
