Algae Printing Ink

Algae Offset Ink

This algae-based ink replaces petroleum-derived pigments used in conventional offset ink and have a much smaller carbon footprint. The project was carried out jointly by the Patagonia brand and Living Ink. After a successful test run, 8,000 brochures were printed on a 100% PCW recycled paper. Living Ink. has been working on algae-based ink since 2013 and has also produced water-based ink for flexographic printing (for printing corrugated boxes).
