Description
The art of writing and printing requires ink which can be of natural or synthetic origin. Synthetic inks owing to their merits have an edge over natural inks. However, Volatile Organic Compounds and the non-degradable nature of synthetic ink pose a threat to the individual engaged with it and the environment. Thus, to overcome these issues this study was carried out with the objective to synthesize natural inks from the from Azadirachta indica.Juss., Beta vulgaris L., Bouvgaivellia spectabilis Willd, Clitoria ternatea L., Curcuma longa L., Coffea arabica L., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., Lantana camera. L., Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L., Rosa indica L. The Ink was produced were bright and well resisted to rubbing. The ink produced is eco-friendly, non-toxic and non-polluting.
