Enviromental Benefits of Commercial Printing with Soy Inks:
| • |
Soy inks create rich, vivid color that "pop" off the page
|
| • |
Soy inks helps prevent pollution (low in VOC's, or Volatile Organic Compounds)
|
| • |
Soy inks are a safe, sustainable, and renewable resource
|
| • |
Soy inks promotes paper recycling (they are more easily stripped from paper during the de-inking / recycling process than petroleum inks)
|
| • |
Soy inks creates less waste on press (they remain more stable throughout the printing process so there are fewer 'rejects’ at the end of the print run)
