An electrostatic ink composition comprising a carrier liquid; a first resin comprising a copolymer of an alkylene monomer and a methacrylic acid monomer; and a second resin comprising a copolymer of an alkylene monomer and an acrylic acid monomer, wherein the second resin constitutes at least 35 wt. % of the total amount of resin is disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a process for printing a substrate. The process comprises applying an analogue primer over a print substrate. A transparent electrophotographic composition comprising a coupling agent is electrophotographically printed on the primer as a coupling layer. An electrophotographic ink composition is then printed on the coupling layer to form an image layer. The coupling layer is disposed between the primer and image layer and in contact with each of the primer and image layer.

Described herein is an electrostatic ink composition comprising a thermoplastic resin comprising a copolymer of an alkylene monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising an epoxide. Also descried herein is a method of printing comprising electrostatically printing an electrostatic ink composition on a surface of a substrate, the electrostatic ink composition comprising a thermoplastic resin comprising a copolymer of an alkylene monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising an epoxide; and reacting the epoxide with the surface of the substrate.
