With lithographic printers facing the need to reduce air emissions and hazardous wastes, while striving for more color and more sophisticated graphics, there have been many developments that have had positive results.
Soy and vegetable oil inks have taken a firm hold. More product lines are embracing the natural oils and replacing the hydrocarbons that were previously standards. Sheetfed process inks are composed of soy and vegetable oils at percentages ranging from 25 to 35 percent. Web inks are higher, with 40 to 50 percent of the formulation consisting of the natural oils. Typical oils come from soy beans, walnuts and corn. The quality of these inks has been excellent and well received by print buyers.
