Abstract

See full text

An electrophotographic image forming method is disclosed. The method contains steps of forming an electrostatic latent image on an organic photoreceptor, and developing the electrostatic latent image by a developer containing toner to form a toner image on the photoreceptor. In this method the photoreceptor contains inorganic particles in a surface layer, the toner has circle equivalent diameter d of 3.0 to 8.0 .mu.m viewed from a direction which maximizes the projective area of toner particles, the toner has a flatness ratio d/t of 2.0 to 5.0, wherein d is circle equivalent diameter and t is average thickness of toner particles, and the electrostatic latent image is developed in such a manner that the developing sleeve is rotated in the opposite direction to the photoreceptor.
