摘要 |
A liquid developer for electrostatic photography is disclosed. The liquid developer of this invention comprises resin grains dispersed in a non-aqueous solvent having an electric resistance of at least 109 OMEGA cm and a dielectric constant of not higher than 3.5, wherein the dispersed resin grains are copolymer resin grains obtained by polymerizing a solution containing at least one mono-functional monomer (A) which is soluble in the above non-aqueous solvent but becomes insoluble in the non-aqueous solvent by being polymerized, in the presence a dispersion-stabilizing resin, which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and is composed of at least one recurring unit represented by the formulae (Ia) and (Ib) having a weight average molecular weight of from 1x103 to 2x104 as defined in the specification. The liquid developer according to the present invention is excellent in redispersibility, storability, stability, image-reproducibility and fixability.
