Abstract: A photohardenable electrostatic master comprising an electrically conductive substrate; a photohardenable layer, and a conductant sealant layer, the conductant being a thiourea or a thioamide present in an amount sufficient to control the discharge characteristics of the sealant layer. The master is particularly useful in the graphic arts field, especially in the area of color proofing wherein proof are prepared to simulate the images produced by printing.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of toner particles for electrostatic liquid developers, which upon fusing to paper have a gloss .gtoreq.10 units over the paper gloss comprising:(A) dispersing at least one thermoplastic resin, at least one pigment, and a hydrocarbon liquid having a Kauri-butanol value of greater than 120 such that the dispersion contains 10% or more by weight solids by means of particulate media whereby the moving particulate media creates shear and/or impact while maintaining the temperature for 5 to 180 minutes in the vessel at a temperature of at least 15.degree. C. above the point at which the resin is plasticized or liquified by the hydrocarbon liquid and below that at which the hydrocarbon liquid boils and the resin and/or pigment decomposes,(B) continuing dispersion of the resin, pigment and hydrocarbon liquid as in Step (A) while maintaining the temperature for 5 to 180 minutes in the vessel at least 5.degree. C. below the point to at least 10.degree. C.
