Abstract

Abstract An electrophotographic developer containing a carrier, a resinous, waxy or varnish compound and as a color component, a phosphotungstomolybdic acid lake of a mixture of an indolenine dye of the formula (I): <IMAGE> (I) wherein A is a benzene or naphthalene nucleus, R1 is a C1-C4 alkyl group R2 and R3 are respectively a hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl group, R4 and R5 are respectively a hydrogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl, beta -hydroxyethyl, beta -chloroethyl, beta -cyanoethyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, or substituted phenyl. Y is a hydrogen or halogen atom, or a nitro, alkyl, alkoxy, carbalkoxy or acetamido group, and X- is a colorless anion, with a xanthene dye of the formula (II): <IMAGE> (II) wherein R6, R7, R10, R11 and R12 are respectively a hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl group, R8 and R9 are respectively a C1-C4 alkyl group, and Y- is a colorless anion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
An electrophotographic liquid developer holding positive charges in a stable state, which consists essentially of (1) a carrier which is a high electrical resistivity liquid having above 10 10 Ωcm of volume resistivity, (2) a resinous, waxy or varnish compound selected from the group consisting of oil-modified alkyd resins, rosin-modified phenol-formaldehyde resins, polyhydric alcohol esters of hydrogenated rosin, polyacryl ester resins, polymethacryl ester resins, polyvinyl acetate and polystyrene, and (3) as a color component, a phosphotungstomolybdic acid lake of a mixture of an indolenine dye selected from the group consisting of: ##STR35## wherein X - is a colorless anion, with a xanthene dye of the formula: ##STR36## wherein Y - is a colorless anion,
