Abstract
Electrically conductive electrostatic ink compositions are disclosed. In an 5 example, an electrically conductive electrostatic ink composition can comprise: a liquid carrier; and particles dispersed in the liquid carrier. The particles dispersed in the liquid carrier can comprise: thermoplastic resin, and electrically conductive metal particles. The electrically conductive metal particles can comprise: a core comprising a first metal, and a shell comprising a second 10 metal. The shell can enclose the core at least partially. The first metal and the second metal may not be the same.
