Process for production of liquid developer, and liquid developer produced by the process

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Disclosed is a process for production of a liquid developer for use in electrophotograph or electrostatic recording by coacervation method. The process can produce a liquid developer in which a coloring agent (e.g. a pigment) is contained completely within a resin particle by distillation of a solvent while retaining the state where the coloring agent are finely dispersed and the resulting colored resin particle is small in particle size and has an excellent dispersion stability, and which has excellent optical properties. The process comprises preparing a mixture containing a pigment a resin having a , fixability, a solvent (A) which can dissolve the resin therein a , hydrocarbon …
