The latest soy ink formulas offer the best of both worlds: environment-friendly chemistry with outstanding printing properties and a naturally renewable resource that can be replanted and harvested year after year.

Kohl & Madden has launched Earth Series sheetfed inks, a low VOC process set of inks with high levels of renewable raw materials such as linseed, soybean and other types of vegetable oils.

With vegetable oil content ranging from 38 to 51 percent, Earth Series inks produce only 2 percent VOCs (volatile organic compounds – EPA Method 24), which makes this ink technology 80 percent lower in average VOCs than other standard sheetfed process inks and great printability.
