What is soy ink? Eco-Friendly?

Hey Guys, how are you doing?




Have you ever heard about Soy ink ever?

Today, Let's talk about Soy ink!!


SOY INK



Soy ink is made from soybeans. Yes, right that soybeans!!



Compared to traditional petroleum-bas



ed ink, soy-based ink is accepted as more environmentally friendly. While slower to dry than many inks, it provides more accurate colors and makes it easier to recycle paper.


Soy ink is naturally low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds, chemical compounds that evaporate and react to sunlight) and its usage can reduce emissions causing air pollution.



It is really Gooooooooood news :)


Researchers at Western Michigan University have found that soy ink is removed more effectively from ne


wsprint than petroleum ink during de-inking, resulting in less paper fiber damage and a brighter paper. In addition, the waste is not considered hazardous and can be treated more easily, completely and cost-effectively. Residue waste ink is considered a liquid industrial waste that requires proper disposal. Many newspapers and large commercial printers are recycling their ink by mixing black ink with unused color inks. This process reduces waste and results in a more cost-effective, efficient use of ink.



  • Vibrant colors - Soybean oil's clarity allows pigments to reach their full potential, resulting in deep, rich bright colors. In addition, used in newspaper ink, it shows an excellent outcome of pigments. Soy ink delivers a high quality print when you switch from petroleum-based ink to soy ink, and you may even see an improvement!


  • Lower rub-off - Soy inks show a greater rub resistance. This is especially of important for newspaper readers.


  • Soy ink is cost effective - The prices of soy ink colors are competitive with conventional ink colors since most of the cost in the colored inks comes from the pigments used and not the vehicle portion of the formulation. Because soy ink provides more intense color, printers may not use as much ink. As a result, more materials can be printed with less ink and thereby reducing their costs.


  • Laser proof - This is important when ink needs to be exposed to the heat of a laser printer or copy machine. As the boiling point of soy ink is lower, there is less chance of the ink being transferred to the machine parts instead of the paper.


  • Stability - Soy ink maintains its lithographic stability throughout the entire print job, so the press operator makes fewer adjustments during production and rejects fewer copies because of inferior quality.




This our New Project with Soy Ink Recycling Paper Bag












S2 Co. Ltd aims for Eco Friendly Products, so try to research and make 100% recycling products. We are looking forward to meeting you guys who want to Join us as soon as possible :)
