A process for producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member which has a charge-generating layer and a charge-transporting layer on a substrate, has steps of applying a solution containing a charge-transporting material, binder resin, dimethoxymethane, and an aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvent having a boiling point of 130&deg; C. or higher, and drying the solution, to form the charge-transporting layer.

Process for producing electrophotographic photosensitive member and electrophotographic photosensitive member

A process for producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member has a layer. The process has the step of forming the layer by the use of a dispersion obtained by ejecting a pressurized fluid from an orifice into a hollow member having a diameter larger than the diameter of the orifice, to disperse a material to be dispersed. The fluid is ejected in substantially an unatomized state.

Process for producing electrophotographic photosensitive member

An electrophotographic photosensitive member according to the present invention includes: a photosensitive layer formed on an electroconductive support member thereof, wherein a surface layer of the photosensitive member contains a silicon denatured polycarbonate copolymer and a silicon-type graft polymer. An electrophotographic photosensitive apparatus according to the present invention includes: an electrophotographic photosensitive member, the surface layer of which contains a silicon denatured polycarbonate copolymer and a silicon-type graft polymer; a latent image forming unit for forming an electrostatic latent image on the electrophotographic photosensitive member; a developing unit for forming a toner image by developing the electrophotographic photosensitive member, on which the electrostatic image has been formed, with a toner; and, optimally, a cleaning unit for cleaning the electrophotographic photosensitive member.

Electrophotographic photosensitive material

The present invention provides an electrophotographic photosensitive member which comprises an electroconductive support, an interlayer, and a photosensitive layer, wherein the electroconductive support is previously cleaned with a solution mainly composed of water, end the interlayer contains an electroconductive substance. The product is excellent in the electrophotographic properties and the process of making is not harmful to the human health and does not pollute the environment.

Electrophotographic photosensitive member having interlayer on cleaned

Disclosed is a printing plate, for an electrophotographic process, which comprises an electroconductive support and a photosensitive layer formed on the electroconductive support, in which the photosensitive layer is formed by incorporating (a) a trisazo pigment represented by the general formula (I) and (b) at least one member selected from perynone pigments and anthanthrone pigments as photoconductive substances and (c) at least one electron donor substance as a sensitizer in an alkali-soluble binder resin. This printing plate has a high sensitivity and a printing image having a high quality is formed on the printing plate without contamination of the non-image area due to the electrophotography, and prints having a high-quality image can be obtained by using this printing plate.

Printing plate for electrophotographic process comprising trisazo

Disclosed is an eluting solution for eluting a non-image area of an electrophotographic printing plate having a toner image formed and fixed thereon by electrophotography, to expose a hydrophilic substrate or a substrate that can be rendered hydrophilic. This eluting solution is an aqueous solution containing at least an alkali chelating agent.
