Electrophotographic image forming apparatus

A tandem type electrophotographic image forming apparatus using an organic photoreceptor in which at least a charge generating layer and a charge transfer layer are sequentially laminated on a conductive support body, the apparatus comprising at least:

• a plurality of image forming units including an electrostatic latent image forming means forming an electrostatic latent image on the organic photoreceptor, a developing means forming a toner image by supplying a toner to the organic photoreceptor, and by developing the electrostatic latent image, a lubricant supplying means supplying a lubricant to a front surface of the organic photoreceptor, and a cleaning means removing the toner remaining on the front surface of the organic photoreceptor with a cleaning blade,
• wherein when a linear pressure of a cleaning blade A included in the image forming unit disposed on an upstream side is set to P1, and a linear pressure of a cleaning blade B included in the image forming unit disposed on a downstream side is set to P2, at least one of combinations of the two adjacent image forming units including toners having colors different from each other satisfies Equation (1) described below.
• [Expression 1]
• P2>P1 (1)
