Abstract
A liquid developer for electrostatic photography is disclosed. The liquid developer comprises at least resin grains dispersed in a non-aqueous solvent having an electric resistance of at least 10.sup.9 .OMEGA.cm and a dielectric constant of not higher than 3.5, wherein the dispersed resin grains are polymer resin grains obtained by polymerizing a solution containing (1) at least a mono-functional monomer (A) which is soluble in the aforesaid non-aqueous solvent but becomes insoluble therein by being polymerized in the presence of a dispersion-stabilizing resin (BA) soluble in the non-aqueous solvent, which is a polymer containing a recurring unit represented by the formula (I) described in the specification, at least a part of the main chain of the polymer being crosslinked, and, optionally, (2) a monomer (B-1) represented by the formula (II-1) described in the specification. The liquid developer of this invention is excellent in re-dispersibility, storability, stability, image-reproducibility, and fixability.
