1. A process comprising heating a sulfonated polyester resin latex and a colorant below about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the sulfonated polyester resin, adding a metal stearate to the resulting slurry, and isolating the product, and wherein said heating generates an alkyl carboxylate metal salt component ionically attached to the surface of said product.
