Here is our inaugural post on the ink kitchen, an Earth Day story.

Many good developments come from pushing the envelope of what is possible.

At my company Mirror Image we have pushed the envelope and made an ink that is not only environmentally friendly but also made from 100% certified organic materials.

These ingredients are all sustainable renewable resources and so safe that the ink is edible.

The perfect thing for an organic shirt.

Here is video of us printing a t-shirt and then eating the ink.

I have many times been asked, “do you have water-based ink.” I used to answer, “why, do you want to drink some?” Water can be the base of an ink, but it doesn’t mean it is more environmental or safer, think of hemlock tea.

In this case we did make an ink you can eat, it is that safe.

I w as thinking th

at it in some ways was a gimmick, but I have found out more information and believe eventually we can make a commercially viable, if not gourmet, ink.
