I've been searching for a link in english about this new ink for ink jet printers, developed here in Bologna, but they're all in Italian! Anyway it's made from a food colouring and is already being tested on the market.It's developed by the Dept. of industrial chemistry at Bologna uni and is non- toxic, biodegradable and easy to remove from paper therefore making it easier to produce white recycled paper. The environmental impact is 68% less and it costs 2 to 3 times less than traditional inks. It's called ink-no-ink, but when I searched that, all sorts of other things came up instead. I am hopeless

This looks really good, Tigger. I just googled the words "eco-ink" and got some interesting results, too

I've found the right link ( I think ). The translation is a bit strange though https://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=navclient-menuext&hl=en&u=http%3A//tech.pagine70.com/index.php%3Fid%3D292

Goodness I think that's more difficult than the original even if you don't understand Italian!

Yes, your original explaination was much clearer than that link.
