[Hidden-tech] Printers using soy-based inks

[Deborah Chandler]

Hi Lisa and Hidden Techers,

I think my answer went just to LIsa the other day...sorry about that.

I just spoke to Christopher Smith at Hatfield Printing, and he uses  
vegetable oil-based acrylic inks, which he says are the best of both  
worlds...more earth-friendly than petro-based inks, and they dry much  
faster than other soy inks.

I haven't done any research on his topic, but my curiosity is peaked,  
and I'd like to know more.

Chris can be reached at 247-5362. He prints everything from business  
cards to books, including 4-color. The other fabulous thing is that  
they had solar panels installed about a year ago, so they are now a  
solar-powered printing company. How great is that!

If anyone has worked with Hatfield Printing, I would love to hear  
about it.

Also, Collective Copies has a good reciprocal relationship with Red  
Sun Press, in Jamaica Plan, (Boston) and they definitely use soy  
inks, and are a worker-owned collective. Website: http://
