Abstract

A positive or negative latent image can be developed with negatively or positively charged toner particles, respectively, that are microcapsular. The shell material of the toner particles is a melamine-formaldehyde resin or a starch-based material. The core is a liquid solution comprising at least a liquid, ethylenically unsaturated monomer, a leuco dye and a photoinitiator.
