摘要:
An image forming apparatus and a process cartridge have high-durability and stably form high quality images under long-term use without reducing image density even when concentration of discharge products at the surface of an electrophotographic photoconductor becomes uneven in a discharge region of a charging unit. The apparatus employs an image forming method and has a corona discharge type charging unit discharging in a non-contact manner, the photoconductor placed to face the charging unit and the outermost surface layer thereof contains a filler and an amine compound with a specific structure, and an airflow adjusting device which carries air taken from the outside of the apparatus to the vicinity of the charging unit or the photoconductor so that ozone concentration and unevenness thereof are maintained at an average of 30 ppm or less and 15 ppm or less respectively at the surface of the photoconductor in the discharge region.

摘要:
An image-forming apparatus employing a reversal developing system and using a photosensitive material capable of being charged into both positive and negative polarities and further using a transfer roller made of an electrically conducting sponge rubber. The photosensitive material and the transfer roller are press-contacted to each other with a suitable force, and a DC voltage is applied to the transfer roller, the DC voltage having a polarity opposite to the polarity of the potential created by the main charger and having a value larger than a charge start voltage of the photosensitive material but being so set that the potential on the surface of the photosensitive material after discharged is not larger than 50 V in an absolute value. This apparatus permits a toner image formed on the surface of the photosensitive material to be transferred at a high efficiency and enables the photosensitive material to be uniformly charged in a next cycle of forming image.
