Our petroleum-free wood inks were successfully tested on an industrial flexographic press at the <strong>Institut des communications graphiques et de l&#8217;imprimabilit\u00e9 (I-CI)<\/strong> in Qu\u00e9bec, Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the trials, our <strong>Golden, Black, and Orange Wood Inks<\/strong> were printed on non-porous substrates under a range of operating conditions, including different printing speeds and ink film thicknesses. The successful performance of these formulations demonstrates the potential of wood-based inks for industrial printing and packaging applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike conventional inks, which often rely on petroleum-derived components, Orfonc\u00e9&#8217;s Wood Inks are produced from Canadian forestry residues and eco-friendly solvents. Our technology aims to provide a sustainable alternative while maintaining the performance required by modern printing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These industrial trials represent an important step toward commercializing a new generation of environmentally friendly inks for labels, packaging, and other printed products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The printing and packaging industries are facing increasing demand for sustainable materials and secure supply chains. By transforming forestry residues into high-value inks, Orfonc\u00e9 contributes to the circular bioeconomy while reducing dependence on fossil-based resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our Wood Inks are designed to offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83c\udf32 Raw materials derived from Canadian forestry residues;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u267b\ufe0f Petroleum-free formulations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf31 Eco-friendly solvents;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udce6 Compatibility with sustainable packaging applications;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udda8\ufe0f Industrial-scale printability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaboration and Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This milestone would not have been possible without the excellent collaboration of the <strong>I-CI team<\/strong>, whose expertise and support were invaluable throughout the industrial trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the <strong>Ville de Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong> and the <strong>National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP)<\/strong>, whose contributions have helped advance this technology toward commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Wood Inks in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A video of the industrial flexographic printing trials is now available and showcases our Wood Inks running on press under real production conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This achievement marks another step toward Orfonc\u00e9&#8217;s vision of transforming Canadian forestry residues into high-value, sustainable materials for the printing and packaging industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stay tuned for more developments as we continue to expand the capabilities of Wood Ink technology and move toward fully sustainable printing solutions.<\/strong> \ud83c\udf32\ud83d\udda8\ufe0f\u267b\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Wood Ink on Industrial Flexographic Press | Sustainable Printing from Forestry Residues\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I3dhShYwVHE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major step toward sustainable printing and packaging Orfonc\u00e9 has reached an important milestone in the development of its Wood Ink technology.
