1. A deinkable liquid toner, including:
a non-polar carrier fluid; a non-thermoplastic styrene-alkyl acrylate having a glass transition temperature ranging from about 65° C. to about 100° C.; and a colorant; wherein printed toner is removable from waste paper in response to an interaction between the printed toner and deinking chemicals; and wherein the non-thermoplastic styrene-alkyl acrylate is chosen from copolymers of i) styrene, butyl acrylate, methacrylonitrile, and methacrylic acid, ii) styrene, butyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, and methacrylic acid; iii) methyl methacrylate, hexyl acrylate, and methacrylic acid; iv) methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, and methacrylic acid; and v) styrene, N-phenyl maleimide, butyl acrylate, and methacrylic acid.
