    摘要: An image forming apparatus which largely improves the reliability of electrophotographic apparatuses and can accommodate their extremely large productivity comprises an image forming part which forms toner images on an image carrying member, an image transfer part which transfers the toner images on the image carrying member onto a transfer material, and a cleaning part which removes post-transfer residual toner left on the image carrying member after the images are transferred onto the transfer material by the image transfer part, wherein the image carrying member is an amorphous silicon photosensitive member and an initial average gradient &Dgr;a of the photosensitive member is 0.0001 to 0.005.

    摘要: In an electrophotographic image process, a latent image is formed on a photosensitive drum, and a toner image is formed on the latent image. The toner image is temporarily transferred onto an intermediate image-transfer element. The photosensitive drum and the intermediate image-transfer element are brought into contact at an intended contact pressure and are rotated at a prescribed relative speed. At the contact portion, fine vibrations of the photosensitive drum and the intermediate image-transfer element, which can be caused by repeated contact and separation are prevented by controlling the contact temperature between the photosensitive member and the intermediate image-transfer element to be in the range of 15 to 60° C. A kinetic frictional deviation (a standard deviation of a kinetic frictional force) is controlled to be less than the average value of the kinetic frictional force. By suppressing the fine vibration, deviation in image transfer is prevented. In addition, toner melt adhesion and foreign matter deposition is prevented, whereby image blurring is prevented.
