My goal on here was not to get into pissing matches with people. The latex inks, next to UV, are considered a green alternative to other ink technologies out there. HP does a really good job with their sustainability efforts. They also have a great recycling program that allows end users to box up and send back waste ink and used printheads back to HP at no charge. Making it easy for end users to actually take the steps to do the right thing for our environment. We sell both the UV and Latex ink based products, i have no bias towards one or the other. But at least there are a couple options now that aren't a terrible impact to the environment.

Coudl you post the SDS sheets or links for the latex inks?
 
Just because a product is marketed as more environmental or “green” doesn’t necessarily ensure it is actually any better for the environment or the users health. This is a photo of a product in a pressroom marketed as “environmental “yet look at the safety warnings. There seems to be a trend from the big manufacturers to bring products to market that are touted as “green” yet the SDS has alarming safety issues. There needs to be a focus on products that are safer to the user and in turn likely the end product will be more environmentally sound then out going products
