New Initiatives for Green Printing

ColorFX has always been dedicated to using green initiatives for its paper and printing services.  Environmentally-friendly practices have become critical in today’s business world.  In our planet we work hard to lessen our carbon footprint and help the environment.  According to TAPPI, 300 million metric tons of paper and paperboard are made each year.  Eventually, most of that paper will be thrown away.  We choose to work with materials that can be reused in order to save trees and find healthier environmental alternatives.

In order to reach these goals, we are proud to use vegetable oil–based inks, recycled papers, environmentally safe practices, and a paperless program that reduces the amount of paper waste throughout our production facility.  Our inks are designed to offer the best performance on offset presses with excellent color strength and Roller stability.  Our staff works closely with vendors to find the newest, safest methods of environmental practice within the printing industry.  This includes low UV and VOC aqueous coating, along with chemical-free CTP plates.  The paperless program used in our facility includes recycling excess paper and control of make ready prep sheets by reusing the paper.
