Sustainable Printing: The result of environmentally-friendly practices being used in print production. This can involve energy efficient factories, waste minimisation, elimination of water on the press, avoiding environmentally harmful chemicals & using sustainable or recycled paper.

Waterless printing is an offset lithographic printing process that eliminates the water or dampening system used in conventional printing. There's no more adjusting the ink zones, damping units and roller inking units, and no more controlling the ink-water equilibrium.

environmental credentials - less waste and energy use

• UV-curable inks do not contain hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), are 100% solvent-free and do not result in the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• UV curing does not generate any by-products during the curing process - any ozone that breaks free from the UV lamps is turned into pure oxygen immediately
• UV-curable inks are free of antifungals or antimicrobial additives and heavy metals
• UV printing converts ink to 100% solid material and is insoluble meaning when it is put in landfill it remains a solid and doesn't biodegrade back into the environment
• UV printing is much easier to filter in the recycling process than conventional print, using less chemicals and power in the recycling process.
• Solvent-based and UV-curing inks will act very similarly in a paper pulping plant as they are water insoluble and easily separated
• Faster make-readies mean less power is used on producing wasted sheets
• Combined with recycled and FSC-accredited stocks, the genius is a printing evolution for the environment
