Abstract: A liquid toner composition for use in development of a latent electrostatic image in an electrostatic imaging process, which comprises an insulating, nonpolar liquid having admixed therewith a first type of pigmented particles carrying charges of a first polarity and a second type of pigmented particles carrying charges of a second polarity, opposite to the first polarity.

Abstract: An imaging system including apparatus for forming a latent image on a surface, the latent image including a first portion having a high level of electrostatic charge, a second portion having a low level of electrostatic charge and a third portion having an intermediate level of electrostatic charge, and apparatus for developing the latent image by contacting it with a liquid toner composition comprising an insulating, nonpolar liquid having admixed therewith a first type of pigmented particles having charges of a first polarity and a second type of pigmented particles having charges of an opposite polarity, such that the first type of pigmented particles becomes deposited onto the first portion and the second type of pigment particles becomes deposited onto the second portion.
