Abstract
A method for developing an electrostatic latent image on a nonporous surface using a self-fixing liquid developer is described. The developer contains a volatile, electrically insulating carrier, and toner particles, dispersed in the carrier, containing a polymer binder which has a Tg within the range from about -10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. Upon application of the developer to a latent image and evaporating the liquid carrier from the image, the toner particles fix to the surface without externally applied heat other than from ambient conditions.
