Ren, there is a product that comes in a 1lb can called 3 way drier by vanson. very easy to use and doesnt make a mess.

Thanks a bunch, Toni! I LOVE your company’s products! 🙂

Thanks for the comments, glad you like our stuff! I just found that you were asking about “green” letterpress. We also offer this at our press. We use soy inks, paper with high PCW/windpower etc. But we also print with traditional inks – oil based inks. Honestly there isn’t a huge difference printing with soy vs. oil. They both are ink.
