A liquid developer for electrophotography comprising a carrier liquid having dispersed therein toner particles containing a binder resin and a colorant, wherein said carrier liquid contains at least one ether compound selected from compounds represented by formula (I) and compounds represented by formula (II): R1-O(CnH2nO)x-R2(I) R3-O-R4(II) wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4, which may be the same or different, each represent an alkyl group, an alicyclic alkyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group; n represents an integer of from 4 to 8; and x represents 1 or 2. The developer requires no heating even in winter and is less vaporized and less dangerous owing to the low solidifying point and low vapor pressure of the carrier liquid. The developer stably exhibits satisfactory charging properties. The developer is suited to high-speed copying.
