Eco solvent is the green alternative to traditional solvent based inks. One major benefit is that you are not required to have a huge ventilation system to recycle the air in and out of the department to diffuse the fumes. Using soy eco solvent inks can have valuable impacts not only on the environment but also upon human health. Not only do these inks print incredibly well onto recycled paper, but there is a greater ease of removal of these inks from wastepaper during de-inking in the recycling process of paper.

Hey Mark!

Thanks for dropping by our website. Our equipment technician, Lou, had this to say concerning your questions:

“You always want to go with the manufacturer instructions because the equipment/printer is developed with those products, together at the manufacturers engineering facility. Most of the time using anything other than the manufacturers developed consumables (OEM) will void the printers warranty, if applicable. Also, there is a difference between the desktop printer and large format inks. According to HP, every time the model number on an ink or printheads changes it’s because the chemical composition of the ink changed. I never recommend using refilled ink cartridges for that reason, plus they can leak ink.”
