Abstract
An electrophotographic belt having a base layer and a surface layer on the base layer, wherein the surface layer comprises an organosilicon polymer as a binder and a silica particle as a roughening particle, a content of the silica particle in the surface layer is 2.5 to 20.0% by mass, and when a reflectance of a surface layer side of the electrophotographic belt to light with a wavelength of from 800 to 1000 nm and an incident angle of 0° is measured, a minimum value of the reflectance at the wavelength of from 800 to 1000 nm is 1.5% or more, and a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the reflectance at the wavelength of from 800 to 1000 nm is 0.5% or less.
