Not only are vegetable based inks (soybeans) more environmentally friendly, but they also offer some additional benefits. Here are some stats about vegetable based inks that we thought you might find interesting:
- Vegetable based inks are naturally low in VOCs.
- As soybeans grow, they remove damaging carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere.
- Almost half of all soybeans produced in the United States do not need irrigation.
- Vegetable based inks have greater rub resistance than petroleum based inks.
- The clarity of soybean oil allows pigments to reach their full potential.
- Vegetable based inks maintain their lithographic stability throughout the entire print run.
