Image forming device and process cartridge

Abstract

An image forming device includes an image holding member, a charging device configured to charge a surface of the image holding member, an electrostatic charge image forming device configured to form an electrostatic charge image on the surface of the image holding member that has been charged, a developing device configured to contain a developer containing toner, supply the developer, and develop the electrostatic charge image formed on the surface of the image holding member into a toner image, a transfer device configured to transfer the toner image formed on the surface of the image holding member onto a surface of a recording medium, a cleaning device including a cleaning blade configured to clean the surface of the image holding member, and a fixing device configured to fix the toner image on the surface of the recording medium, in which the cleaning blade recovers a recovered toner containing toner particles and metal titanate particles, and the metal titanate particles exhibit a particle size distribution curve satisfying Expression (1), Expression (1). 1.4≤2b/(a+b)≤1.95, where a is a width on a smaller diameter side with respect to a perpendicular line at a 50% height of a maximum peak height, the perpendicular line being drawn from a maximum peak of the particle size distribution curve, and b is a width on a larger diameter side with respect to the perpendicular line at the 50% height of the maximum peak height.
