All cards are pressed using soy ink (may contain some nut oils) onto beautiful bristol paper which contains 30% post consumer recycled fiber (you just can’t tell). With NO hormones or antibotics! Inkjet and laser compatible! Presses are cleaned using ordinary & simple vegetable oil, instead of harsh & non-edible smog causing solvents. Very healthy!
