Electrophotographic ink compositions display reduced malodor effects when at least one antagonistic odor vector compound for C₁₀, C₁₁ and C₁₂ hydrocarbons is present in the ink composition. The use of appropriate amounts of the antagonistic odor vector compounds for C₁₀, C₁₁ and C₁₂ hydrocarbons does not adversely affect the functional imaging properties of the ink.
