An electrophotographic image forming method employing a photoreceptor is disclosed. The decrease .DELTA.Hd (in .mu.m), in layer thickness per rotation in wear test of the organic electrophotographic photoreceptor defined in the specification, is in the range of 0.ltoreq..DELTA.Hd<1.times.10.sup.-5, and a toner used in said development process is one which is obtained by suspension-polymerizing a polymerizable composition consisting of at least a polymerizable monomer and a colorant in a water based medium or one which is obtained by fusing resinous particles in a water based medium.

Une image électrophotographique formant la méthode utilisant un photorécepteur est révélée. Le DELTA.Hd de diminution (dans le mu.m), dans l'épaisseur de couche par rotation dans l'essai d'usure du photorécepteur électrophotographique organique défini dans les spécifications, est dans la gamme de 0.ltoreq..DELTA.Hd
