Abstract

An electrostatic liquid developer consisting essentially of PA1 (A) nonpolar liquid having a Kauri-butanol value of less than 30, present in a major amount, PA1 (B) thermoplastic resin particles having an average by area particle size of less than 10 .mu.m, PA1 (C) nonpolar liquid soluble ionic, nonionic, or zwitterionic compound, and PA1 (D) alkylhydroxybenzylpolyamine as define herein, being operably soluble in component (A) above. Optionally colorant, adjuvants, etc., are present. The liquid electrostatic developer is useful in copying, making proofs including digital color proofs, lithographic printing plates, and resists.
