大豆油墨

大豆油墨（），是以大豆油為材料所製成的工業印刷油墨。相比於傳統以石油為材料的油墨，大豆油墨被認為較為環保而且利於廢紙回收與再生工程，而且印刷上也有色彩更鮮明和省墨的優點Wool, Richard P., Xiuzhi, Susan Sun. Bio-Based Polymers and Composites. © 2005, Elsevier Academic Press.Erhan, S.

大豆油墨的研發始於1970年代。當時受到石油危機的影響，大量使用石油油墨的印刷業者苦於節節升高的印刷成本，於是美國報紙出版業者協會（American Newspaper Publishers Association）積極投入研發新印刷用油墨。在嘗試了數以千種的材料之後，決定使用大豆油作為材料。自1985年試印至今，大豆油墨已得到廣泛的應用。
