What Is Eco-Solvent Ink?

Eco-solvent ink is a more environmentally friendly version of traditional solvent ink, designed for print businesses that want high-quality outdoor durability with lower environmental impact. Instead of harsh chemical solvents, eco-solvent formulations use biodegradable, low-odour carriers that emit significantly fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

This makes eco-solvent printing safer for operators and better for indoor environments, without compromising on performance. The ink bonds tightly to coated and uncoated substrates—such as vinyl, PVC, banners, and wraps—producing vibrant, scratch-resistant, and waterproof prints that last for years indoors or outdoors.

Because of its balanced combination of quality, versatility, and sustainability, eco-solvent ink is widely used for signage, wall graphics, posters, and vehicle decals. It’s compatible with most wide-format printers and requires minimal maintenance, helping print providers reduce downtime and running costs.

For businesses focused on both professional image quality and eco-conscious production, eco-solvent technology delivers reliable, long-lasting colour with less odour, less waste, and greater customer appeal.
