Vegetable Based Inks
Palmer has years of experience in the use and application of vegetable based inks. These inks are manufactured from various vegetables including soy, canola, linseed and also various seeds. These are renewable resources used to lower VOC’s in inks and are totally non-toxic. These inks are readily disposable, biodegradable and recyclable.

Recyclable -vs- Recycled
“Recyclable” means the product you have in your hands is able to be recycled because it has “no attachments” which prevent it from entering in conventional recycling programs.  When you recycle that product, it goes back into the manufacturing process to be remanufactured. This remanufactured product is now classified as “Recycled” and may contain various levels of Pre-Consumer and/or Post-Consumer waste.
