Printing With DNA Ink

Tokyo-based Ko-sin Printing has developed a printing process that allows authors to add a more personal touch to their printed works by using ink that includes their DNA.

Once DNA is extracted from a human (or animal) hair or nail sample provided by the author, it is blended with a special ink and used in the printing process.
Ko-sin has already put the technology to use in some self-published autobiographies whose title pages are printed with ink that includes the author’s DNA.
Mixing DNA in with the ink does not alter the appearance of the page, the company says.

Ko-sin hopes the process will appeal to autobiographers who want to add value to their work by including their DNA, or to people who wish to insert the DNA of beloved pets into printed materials.
The company is now investigating other potential applications.

This is an interesting technology.

I see this as being something that will find a somewhat lucrative
niche market.
