An image-forming apparatus including an electrophotographic photoreceptor of which photosensitive layer contains oxytitanium phthalocyanine showing main diffraction peaks at Bragg angles (2θ) of 9.0° and 27.2° and at least one main diffraction peak in the range of 9.3° to 9.8° to CuKα rays, and the toner satisfies all the following requirements (1) to (3):n (1) the volume median diameter (Dv50) is 4.0 μm or more and 7.0 μm or less, (2) the average sphericity is 0.93 or more, and (3) the relation between the volume median diameter (Dv50) and the content (% by number: Dns) of toner particles of 2.00 μm or more and 3.56 μm or less satisfies Dns≦0.233EXP(17.3/Dv50). |
