Emuva phakathi kwe-2010s, uDkt. Scott Fulbright kunye noGqr Stevan Albers, Ph.D. abafundi kwiCell and Molecular Biology Programme kwiYunivesithi yaseColorado State, babenombono othakazelisayo wokuthatha i-biofabrication, ukusetyenziswa kwebhayoloji ukukhulisa izinto, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwemveliso yemihla ngemihla. UFulbright wayemi kwindawo yokubulisa ikhadi xa ingcamango yokuqulunqa ii-inki ezivela kwi-algae yafika engqondweni.
Uninzi lwee-inki zisekelwe kwi-petrochemical, kodwa ukusebenzisa i-algae, iteknoloji ezinzileyo, ukuthatha indawo yeemveliso ezivela kwi-petroleum, kuya kudala i-carbon footprint engalunganga. U-Albers wayekwazi ukuthatha iiseli ze-algae kwaye aziguqule zibe yi-pigment, abaye bayenza ibe yisiseko se-inki yokuprinta enokuthi iprintwe.
I-Fulbright kunye no-Albers baqulunqe i-Living Ink, inkampani ye-biomaterials ehlala e-Aurora, CO, ethengise ii-inki ezinemibala emnyama esekelwe kwi-algae. UFulbright usebenza njenge-CEO ye-Living Ink, kunye no-Albers njenge-CTO.
