What we are doing for our environment

Thermal Process Free Plates

Our Litho press uses plates produced in a completely chemical and solvent free process. The Fuji ProT3 latest generation plates we use print ultra sharp images and text and we use a low chemical level water and we are committed to further reducing levels of chemicals.

Vegetable Based Inks

We use standard 100% vegetable based, mineral free inks in both CMYK process and Pantone spot colours. Our press coatings are water based and minimise further use of oil based sealer.
