Abstract
Abstract The composition of liquid toners and hence the recycling of such toners is simplified when, as the only substance controlling the charge of the pigments and luminescent substances, respectively, an aluminium (III) salt or a chromium (III) salt of an anthranilic acid possibly substituted at the benzene nucleus is used and the amino group of which is acylated with a fatty acid containing 6 to 20 carbon atoms.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A dispersion for applying solid particles on a surface by an electrophotographic process, said dispersion comprising, in addition to the solid particles to be applied to the surface, a non-polar liquid dispersing agent for said solid particles, a non-ionic macromolecular compound of a molecular weight of 100,000 - 1,500,000, soluble in said liquid dispersing agent and as the sole substance for controlling the charge on said solid particles a metal salt selected from the group consisting of salts of the formulae: Al(AN).sub.n (OH).sub.3.sub.-n and Cr(AN).sub.n (OH).sub.3.sub.-n wherein n = 1, 2, or 3 and AN is the acid residue of an anthranilic acid, the amino group of which is acylated with a fatty acid of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, said metal salt being soluble in the dispersing agent and being present in an amount of 10.sup. -3 to 10.sup. -1 g per 100 g of said solid particles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
