Semi-dry developers and processes thereof

摘要

A dry electrostatographic process involving the development of the latent image using a semi-dry developer having a solids content ranging from about 50% to about 99% by weight based on the weight of the semi-dry developer, and wherein the semi-dry developer is prepared by a developer preparation process comprising: (i) removing liquid from a liquid developer in an effective amount to yield the semi-dry developer; or (ii) adding a liquid additive to a dry developer containing toner particles ranging in size of from about 1 to 7 microns in an effective amount to yield the semi-dry developer.
