Claims
- 1. An electrophotographic apparatus comprising an electrophotographic photosensitive member and a transfer means, wherein:
- said electrophotographic photosensitive member comprises a conductive support having on its surface a photosensitive layer, and said electrophotographic photosensitive member has a surface layer comprising carbon atoms and at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorine atoms and silicon atoms, the proportion of fluorine atoms and silicon atoms to carbon atoms (F+Si)/C, in said surface layer as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy being from 0.01 to 1.0; and
- said transfer means transfers different colors one by one onto a transfer medium in a plurality of times.
- 2. An electrophotographic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said surface layer contains carbon atoms and fluorine atoms in a proportion of fluorine atoms to carbon atoms, F/C, from 0.01 to 1.0.
- 3. An electrophotographic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said surface layer contains carbon atoms and silicon atoms in a proportion of silicon atoms to carbon atoms, Si/C, from 0.01 to 1.0.
- 4. An electrophotographic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said surface layer is the photosensitive layer.
- 5. An electrophotographic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said surface layer is a protective layer formed on the photosensitive layer.
- 6. An electrophotographic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an image transferred by said transfer means is an image formed by development of a dotlike electrostatic latent image.
