The Soy Ink Factory
Soy ink is popular in Asia. Ours is made in a factory in Taiwan. The same soybeans used to make tofu and soy milk are used to create soy ink. The soybeans are first cleaned then cut into flakes and processed into oil. This oil is then refined, cooked and carefully blended with pigments, resins and waxes.
Our Soy Ink Range
We use soy ink to print on all our stone paper products including pocket diaries, notebooks, sketchpads and bullet journals, as well as our in-house packaging solution.
