Zusammenfassung:A toner material for use in the development of electrostatic charge patterns is described which comprises carbon black as coloring material, polystyrene as thermoplastic resin binder and at least one diester of orthophthalic or metaphthalic acid that is solid at room temperature as plasticizer, wherein the polystyrene binder has a molecular weight comprised between about 30,000 and about 70,000, the proportion by weight of the carbon black to the binder is comprised between about 5:100 and about 20:100, and the proportion by weight of the said plasticizer(s) to the binder is comprised between about 2:100 and about 15:100. The toner material is of a very simple and inexpensive composition and nevertheless has optimum photographic and physical properties.
