Methods of Ink Production
Method
Summary of Procedure
Positive Aspects
Negative Aspects
SynthetINK
Production of biological pigments using synthetic biology.
- -After the DNA is in the cells, we only need to pay for the media
- -Little to no by-products
- -More applicable in a world heading towards a green alternatives
- -High initial investment
- -Hard to compete with existing industry giants
Chemical Synthesis
The combining of many industrial chemicals to result in a colorant.
Evolution of the industry has resulted in cheap production.
- -Harmful byproducts
- -Dangerous chemicals
Plant Extraction
Growing pigmented plants for harvest and extraction of pigments.
Provides oxygen from plants.
- -requires large areas of land
- -Time consuming
Carbon-black production
Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons.
Industry evolution has allowed it to be cheap.
- --Numerous and harmful byproducts (including greenhouse gasses)
