A method of manufacturing a liquid electrophotographic ink concentrate includes: milling a mixture comprising ink pigments and polyamine-based dispersants in the presence of milling media to produce nano-scale ink pigments having an average particle size of less than 100 nanometers; and attaching at least one nano-scale ink pigment near surfaces of a base resin particle to form a pigment-resin composition.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to printing systems and methods that may include an ink composition including electrically charged ink particles dispersed in a hydrocarbon liquid and a multilayer film. The multilayer film may include a polymeric core layer; and one or more printing layers adjacent to the polymeric core layer. The one or more printing layers may include at least 50 wt. % of an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having acid and acrylate functional groups. The ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having acid and acrylate functional groups may include from 0.5 wt. % to 4 wt. % methacrylic or acrylic acid; from 0.5 wt. % to 4 wt. % acrylate, from 7 wt. % to 40 wt. % vinyl acetate; and the balance ethylene, based on the total weight of the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having acid and acrylate functional groups.

A liquid toner for printing conductive traces is provided. The liquid toner includes a carrier liquid and toner particles dispersed in the carrier liquid. The toner particles include a low symmetry electrically conducting material dispersed in a pigment.
