Mineral Oil Free Inks

In honor of Earth Day 2024, we would like to highlight Squid Ink’s environmentally friendly ink options, mineral oil-free inks (MOF).

What is Mineral Oil Free Ink?

100% mineral oil-free inks are designed as a direct replacement for petroleum-based inks for use on porous substrates. They are formulated with no hazardous ingredients, zero hazardous air pollutants (HAP), and reduce the risks associated with mineral oil ink contamination in the food packaging industry.

As a response to European food safety regulations, Squid Ink formulated inks with zero hazardous air pollutants and no hazardous ingredients and reduce the risks associated with mineral oil ink contamination in the food packaging industry. These environmentally friendly inks are designed to perform at the same high standards as high-quality oil- based inks. Additionally, MOF inks for porous substrates offer low-maintenance performance, ensuring maximum production uptime and print performance.

The Squid Ink Choice

Squid Ink’s mineral oil-free inks result in dark, reliable print for easy-to-read package coding and increased bar code scannability. Our MOF inks are available in various colors, including black, red, blue, and green. Squid Ink manufactures superior quality inkjet fluids designed for a wide variety of inkjet printing systems.

Squid Ink’s line of mineral oil-free (MOF) inks continues the tradition of offering high- quality inkjet inks and fluids.
