First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A liquid electrophotographic composition, comprising: a carrier liquid; a polymer resin; and an optical brightening agent. 2 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the liquid electrophotographic composition is a non-pigmented electrophotographic composition. 3 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the optical brightening agent is a non-pigmented optical brightening agent. 4 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 3 , wherein the optical brightening agent is a fluorophore. 5 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the optical brightening agent is present in a predetermined amount. 6 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the optical brightening agent is present in an amount of less than 5.0 wt % based on the total solids content of the composition. 7 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 6 , wherein the optical brightening agent is present in an amount of less than 2.0 wt % based on the total solids content of the composition. 8 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the optical brightening agent comprises one or more of a triazine stilbene and derivatives thereof, a biphenyl stilbene and derivatives thereof, a coumarin and derivatives thereof, a benzoxazoline and derivatives thereof, a diazolole and derivatives thereof, an imidazoline and derivatives thereof, or mixtures thereof. 9 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a fluorescence adjuvant. 10 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a charge director. 11 . The liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , wherein the optical brightening agent is insoluble in the carrier liquid. 12 . A method of manufacturing the liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 , comprising grinding a carrier liquid, a polymer resin and an optical brightening agent to form the liquid electrophotographic composition. 13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the carrier liquid and polymer resin are combined to form an electrophotographic paste prior to grinding with the optical brightening agent. 14 . A method of electrophotographic printing, comprising printing the liquid electrophotographic composition of claim 1 onto a substrate using a liquid electrophotographic printer. 15 . A printed article, printed by the method of claim 14 .
