Liquid toners comprising organic pigments and methods

Liquid electrographic toner compositions are provided comprising a liquid carrier having a Kauri-Butanol number less than about 30 mL and a plurality of toner particles dispersed in the liquid carrier. The toner particles comprise polymeric binder and a pigment comprising a first ionic dye component ionically complexed with a second ionic dye component in a predetermined ratio to form an ionically complexed colorant compound exhibiting a predetermined color. The colorant compound has a molecular weight of less than about 5000 Daltons and is substantially free of metals that are not covalently bonded to the colorant compound. Toners comprising pigments comprising a ionic dye component and a second ionic dye component complexed to form ionically complexed compounds that together in a colorant composition exhibit a predetermined color are also provided. Methods of making and using these toners are disclosed.
