Description: Certain pigments are formulated with metals which can result in environmental and worker health hazards when metals are extracted, processed, or disposed. Try to avoid using inks with added antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, as well as metallic colors. Using substitutes for these colors are better for the environment, and these ink colors may require additional steps in the press cleaning process which may be hazardous as well. ( Edited by Devin)
