I wanted to start using my printed materials which are shredded for composting purposes.  Trying to determine what HP printer ink is made from.  Petroleum based or other environmentally safe components of soy or veg. oil.

 

I appreciate all the talk about recycling cartridges but my focus is ONLY on ink and its composition.

 

Any information is greatly appreciated.

 

A long time HP customer, both in laptops, servers and printers.

It depends on an ink cartridge you are using, the old ones and the newest ones are not totally the same. Newer HP ink is water-based, that makes around +/- 90% of ink is water.
