SoyPrint announced today that the world's first soy based laser printer toner and inkjet cartridges will be available worldwide in 2010. The American product has been marketed throughout 2009 in North America. SoyPrint's Vice President, Richard Greenlaw made the announcement as he explained the next generation of SoyPrint enables the brand to be licensed in any country.
Greenlaw reported licenses for some European countries have already been granted, permitting the holder to manufacture SoyPrint laser toner cartridges next year. Greenlaw went on to say he is receiving calls and emails daily from various countries. He said there will be no more than one license holder per country and that the toner will be manufactured in the United States while the actual toner cartridges will be made in each country. He said most cartridges currently contain toner derived from petroleum.
SoyJet Also Introduced
According to Greenlaw, soy ink for commercial printing has been in use for several years but SoyPrint is the first company to provide a version for use in manufacturing inkjet cartridges. Well over a billion inkjet cartridges are used worldwide each year, according to Greenlaw. He said the new soy based inkjet ink, trademarked SoyJet, will use soybean oil in place of petroleum. SoyJet licenses are being sold worldwide, according to Greenlaw, including North America. For more information, contact Rick Greenlaw at rickg@soyprint.net or in the US at 207-642-9700 ext 101.
