Living Ink Technologies

Living Ink Technologies was co-founded by Dr. Scott Fulbright and Dr. Stevan Albers, who met as Ph.D. students in the Cell and Molecular Biology Program at Colorado State University. Both were researching algae, and their shared passion for environmental stewardship and sustainable innovations led to the creation of the company.

Living Ink is a biomaterials company that has developed a sustainable and environmentally safe black ink made from algae, as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based carbon black ink. The company's mission is to transform agricultural waste and algae into valuable products that can replace petroleum-derived ones. Their main product, Algae Ink™, is a high-performance, carbon-negative ink that is resistant to UV light, making it more durable than traditional inks. It is used in a variety of applications, including packaging, printing, and textiles. The company operates in the specialty chemicals and printing industries, serving clients who are looking for sustainable alternatives to traditional products. Living Ink makes money by selling its algae-based ink to businesses.
