Sustainable Printing

COMBINING QUALITY OF WORK & LIFE
Environmental sustainability and conservation

Solo Printing is a socially responsible “green” printer. The company and its employees are committed to the promotion of sustainable forestry practices. It understands that the health, biodiversity and regeneration of our planet’s forests depend on the ethical harvesting of precious natural resources. Solo Printing recognizes that no one wants to live in a world degraded by pollution, chaotic noise, dead oceans, and suffocating heat. The print industry can have multiple impacts on the environment: it consumes forestry products by printing on paper. Its printing emits dust, noise, heat, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from inks, solvents and other chemicals. Solo Printing reduces or eliminates these negative impacts by investing in and using the best available technologies. Solo Printing:
- Purchases and operates energy-efficient equipment
- Imposes operating standards that are safe and healthy for both humans and the environment
- Is committed to and certified for the highest of forestry standards
- Uses products and processes that reduce or eliminate the emission of VOCs
- Recycles and disposes of waste products in ways that do not harm the earth

Komori Presses
LED UV Curing System – A Sustainable Printing Solution
- The Komori presses are equipped with an LED UV curing system, which allows the ink to cure instantly, eliminating the need for drying time and powders.
- LED UV lamps last 10 times longer than traditional UV lamps, allowing savings in cost, time, and waste.
- The LED UV curing system improves both the working environment and the environment as a whole by eliminating heat, ozone, and mercury.
- Since UV inks are solvent-free, LED UV curing technology cuts out the release of VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) and their environmental and health risks.
- The addition of value-added coatings is optimized.
- Strike-through and other high-end printing effects are possible with impressive results.
IR Curing Technology- A Greener Printing Solution
- IR curing technology allows for the use of water-based inks, eliminating the need for solvent-based inks, and thereby significantly reducing VOC emissions.
- IR curing is an energy and cost-efficient solution to large offset printing projects.
Benefits of Green Printing:
- Reduced use of consumables
- Low VOC emissions
- Reduced power consumption (reduced CO2 emissions)
- Reduced paper and ink consumption
- Reduction and recycling of waste
Apart from being efficient, these new additions also boast a greener way of printing as a result of Komori’s many environmental initiatives that fall in line with our values of being a reduced waste and greener commercial printing company.
