Abstract

In the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the electrophotographic photosensitive member, when an arc which is a line at the intersection of the cross-section with a contacting face (face where the electrophotographic photosensitive member and the molding member contact), is represented by an arc AB, the center of a circle of the cross-section of the electrophotographic photosensitive member is represented by a center O, and the point at the intersection of a straight line via the center O among straight lines of a direction of the pressure contact of the molding member with the arc AB is represented by an intersection C, the uneven structure on the surface of the molding member transfers to the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member so that ∠AOC and ∠BOC satisfy the following formulas (1) and (2), respectively:0.5°≦∠AOC≦45°  (1), and0.5°≦∠BOC≦45°  (2).
