Why Soy Ink?

You certainly know that using recycled paper products is good for the environment, but have you wondered why it is beneficial to use soy ink for eco-friendly printing? The benefits of this type of ink are many. Soy ink produces vibrant colors with greater resistance to rubbing off than traditional ink. It is cost effective, stable and stands up well to the heat from laser printing as well. In addition, it is naturally low in VOCs and its waste is not hazardous.
