Vegetable inks

With vegetable inks, Novance offers industrial companies a substitute for heavy mineral inks.

Novance, a pioneer in vegetable-based inks

Originally developed for reasons of hygiene and workplace safety, vegetable based inks are odorless and less toxic than inks traditionally used in printing. Novance became involved in this business very early, producing high-performance biodegradable inks.

A level of quality preferred by industrial companies

Beyond safety considerations, vegetable inks have gradually won over industrial companies with their technical advantages. Indeed, their greater intensity helps to improve print quality and increase equipment productivity.

Today, vegetable inks are used by offset printers who work alongside newspaper and advertising copy editors.

A pioneer in this market, Novance supplies ink to the world’s leading manufacturers and continues to innovate, with the development of a new, higher quality vegetable-based thinner.
