Yes, solvent inks are bad for the environment, not to mention bad for the health of the person doing the printing. For your benefit and ours, Lone Eagle uses aqueous (water-based) inks and eco-MAX mild solvent inkjet inks from Roland. These inks contain no cyclohexanone, which is a known carcinogen. Developed to be eco-friendly, this inkset has no strong odor. Our aqueous inks are 85-90% water and contain no carcinogens. For more on our eco-conscious practices, look here.
