Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid developer comprising a liquid medium, a charge control agent, a polymeric surfactant, and a colored core polymer. In one embodiment, the colored polymer is of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is selected from the group consisting of alkylene and arylene, B is selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkylene groups, arylene groups, and polyether groups, D is selected from the group consisting of dioxyalkane and dioxyarene, x is a fraction number of from about 0.01 to 1.0, and y is a fraction number of from 0 to about 0.99, with x+y being equal to 1, and n representing the number of the monomer units.

Abstract: Disclosed is an interdispersed two-phase ferrite composite which comprises about 0.1 mole to about 1.0 mole of a spinel phase having the general formula MFe.sub.2 O.sub.4 where M is at least one element that forms a spinel ferrite and is selected from the group consisting of cobalt, manganese, iron and mixtures thereof, to about 2.5 moles of a magnetoplumbite phase having the general formula PO.6Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, where P is selected from the group consisting of stontium, barium, calcium, lead and mixtures thereof.Also disclosed are carrier particles formed from magnetized particles of the composite which optionally can be polymerically coated, an electrostatic two-component dry developer composition comprising charged toner particles mixed with oppositely charged carrier particles formed from magnetized, and optionally polymerically coated, particles of the composite, and a method of developing an electrostastic image by contacting the image with a two-component dry developer composition described above.
