1. An image forming apparatus comprising a photoconductor having a photoconductive layer provided on a support, and an exposing device for irradiating a surface of said photoconductor imagewise with a coherent light to form an electrostatic latent image thereon, the surface of said photoconductor having such characteristics as to provide I(S) of at least 3.0×
