Algae Ink - Sustainable bio-based ink

This 100% plant-based, renewable, and biodegradable ink is made from algae cells and other plant-based materials. The green pigment is derived from chlorophyll found in cyanobacteria. Other naturally occurring strains produce red, yellow, and orange colours. The ink can be printed with screen, offset, or letterpress printing.

Used for:
