Kara invented Karink while
she was attending high school in Panama City, Florida. Karink is an
environmentally friendly printing ink. More than 250 million pounds
of oil per year are used to produce newspaper printing ink, most of
which finds its way into landfills. Karink is made entirely from renewable
resources and contains absolutely no petroleum.
In 1994, several issues of the Panama City News Herald were printed
entirely with Karink. In 1995, Karink won The Westinghouse Science
Talent Search.
Kara is attending New York University, and, with her love for art
and chemistry, hopes to become an art restorer.
