A solid phase change ink composition that includes an ink vehicle, a colorant, and at least one naturally derived material. At least one naturally derived material is a low melt material having an onset of melting from about 45.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C., and a melt transition width of from about 3.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C. Also provided is a method for producing a solid phase change ink composition that includes selecting at least one naturally derived material, forming an ink vehicle, and adding a colorant, wherein at least one naturally derived material is a low melt material having an onset of melting of from about 45.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C., and a melt transition width of from about 3.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C. An ink jet device that includes the solid phase change ink composition described in the present disclosure is also provided.
