this invention relates to electrophotographic elements containing a layer formed from coating compositions containing a mixture of polymeric binders , including a polyvinyl butyral and a polyester ionomer and a crystalline mixture of unsubstituted titanyl phthalocyanine pigment , titanyl phthalocyanine pigments or mixtures thereof dispersed in the mixture . more particularly the invention relates to electrophotographic elements containing photoconductive layers which are especially useful for forming a photoconductive layer that is very uniform and highly absorptive at relatively thin coverage with good inter layer adhesion . the electrophotographic elements produced using this coating composition are particularly suited for high quality applications such as providing copy images with very low grain .
