A novel electrophotographic liquid developer is provided, comprising a coloring agent, a coating agent, a dispersant, an electric charge adjustor, and a carrier liquid, wherein said coating agent is a copolymer of a long-chain alkyl acrylate or methacrylate and a methyl methacrylate, and has a softening temperature within the range of from 40.degree. to 140.degree. C. and a number-average molecular weight of from 5.times.10.sup.3 to 1.times.10.sup.5. The long-chain alkyl group is a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. In preferred embodiments, the long-chain alkyl methacrylate is 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, or stearyl methacrylate.

Electrophotographic liquid developer

A photographic light-sensitive material is described comprising at least one hydrophilic colloidal layer containing a hardener and further containing as an acid-captor at least one compound represented by formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, a lower alkyl group containing 5 or less carbon atoms, an alkoxy group containing 5 or less carbon atoms, or a halogen atom, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each independently represents hydrogen, an alkyl group containing 10 or less carbon atoms, an aryl group containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or an alkoxycarbonyl group containing 5 or less carbon atoms.
