Environmental consciousness is a key component of our core values. We have adopted green strategies throughout our operations.
Minimize Waste
- 100% of paper waste recycled, as well as all excess proofing waste and all of our aluminum printing plates
- Recycled paper available and used whenever possible to help save forests
- Stay-open inks that will not dry in the press used to greatly reduce ink waste (While traditional inks form a skin that dries and must be changed and discarded daily, stay-open inks dry only when applied to the paper, eliminating pounds of ink waste annually)
- Many paper and ink-saving efforts, such as PDFs in lieu of paper proofs and electronic billing upon request
Make Appliances More Efficient and Eco-friendly
- Routine filter maintenance and upkeep on all air-flow systems to ensure maximum efficiency and less energy waste
- Energy-efficient lighting
Protect air quality
- Environmentally friendly press solvents
- Soy-based inks with very low VOC content (lowers emissions)
- RenewAire Energy Recovery Ventilator unit installed to make greater use of fresh, outside air – less energy used overall
Aqueous water-based coating used on many jobs –
available upon request, helps air quality by lowering harmful vapors
for a more eco-friendly solution
