Herein are describes liquid electrophotographic ink compositions and methods for producing liquid electrophotographic ink composition. The liquid electrophotographic ink compositions may be producing using a method comprising: grinding a resin and a pigment to form a paste; reacting an aluminium C12-24 carboxylate and a molecule having a molecular weight (Mw) of less than about 1000 and comprising a functional group selected from an amide, an ester, a carboxylic acid, an amine, an imide and combinations thereof to form a charge promoting component; and combining the paste and the charge promoting component to form a liquid electrophotographic ink. |
