Finding an Eco-friendly Ink Path

• Using UV inks is another sustainable practice to consider. The ink is a two-part acrylic epoxy where the first part is the ink itself with receptors that are activated by the second part—the UV light. UV inks contain little or no solvents and therefore do not emit significant VOCs.

• Waterless printing uses computer-to-plate technology and silicon plates to eliminate chemicals and water completely from the printing process. Waterless printing can help to reduce waste materials and ink consumption, making it yet another eco-friendly option for a print provider.
