Abstract

A non-aqueous dispersing agent comprising a graft copolymer is characterized in that monomer(s) to constitute the graft portion(s) of the graft copolymer is (are) at least one or more macromonomers each having a terminal polymerizable functional group and that the graft copolymer is substantially soluble in a high electric-resistance non-aqueous solvent having a dielectric constant of 3 or less and a volume specific resistance of 109 Ωcm of more. The dispersing agent may sufficiently disperse any of a colorant of pigment or dye, a fixing resin-coated colorant or a fixing resin itself by wet-dispersion, and it has an excellent storage stability. The agent is therefore useful in a liquid developer for electrostatic photography or in a liquid developer for preparing printing plates.
