METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMAGE FORMATION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for image formation, which reduce pollution of an electrifying member to prolong the lives of the electrifying member, a photosensitive body, and a cleaning blade by improving the cleaning efficiency of the surface layer of the photosensitive body and reduce storage of remaining potential to be able to keep a high picture quantity free from staining for a long time. SOLUTION: In the image forming method using an electrophotographic method in which an electrifier, a developing device, etc., are arranged around the photosensitive body and an electrostatic latent image is formed by image exposure on the photosensitive body after electrification to form an image, the photosensitive body is used where a coating layer which has fine inorganic particles dispersed is formed on the outermost surface layer, and the electrifying member where at least an image forming area is set in a non-contact state, a pre-cleaning destaticizer between a copy paper separation device and a toner cleaning device, and a device which makes the photosensitive body surface layer have a low friction factor are arranged to form the image.
