petroleum card

In this country, commercial printing products are all around us. We have newspapers delivered daily, our mail is jammed with glossy brochures and catalogs, online and billboards in streets of our cities. Like baseball and apple pie, which is a part of our culture. But what many people do not know is that the traditional commercial printing process is very demanding on the environment. It uses tons of paper, energy, and worst of all, the ink and solvents used in printing presses produce large amounts of volatile organic compounds, also known as VOC's, which are pollutants that can contaminate air, soil and groundwater.

Fortunately, many in the printing industry have sought and developed greener, earth friendly solutions to the problem of pollution. One of the greatest advances has been the introduction of soy-based inks in the printing business.

In addition to a detachment high levels of VOC inks, traditionally used for printing are petroleum based. Based ink soybean products, however, derive from a mixture soybean oil, pigments, resins and waxes. VOC levels are very low, and because oil comes from soybeans grown in the USA, using soy-based ink drives our economy, while reducing the need for a foreign product such as oil. Moreover, since soybean oil is clearer than petroleum distillates, less pigment is needed to produce the same effect, reducing the total cost of the ink.

The recycling process is also helped by soy-based inks, and can be eliminated more easily during removal of ink from the petroleum-based products.

Despite the benefits of environmental and economic benefits printing with soy-based inks are reason enough to use them, there are aesthetic as well: the soy-based inks actually produce brighter, richer colors than traditional inks, so they are used in more than 90% of U.S. newspapers day. So if it is true that traditional trade printing has been lasts in the environment, the good news is that more environmentally friendly alternatives are making their way in the industry, printing ink based on soy to the head.
