Digital Print Benefits

Compared to traditional litho Digital Printing has many environmental benefits:

  • No film separations or plates and the associates chemicals required.
  • Clients can order the exact quantity of print required rather than over-ordering large litho runs which is often thrown away.
  • The set-up on a Digital Print run is usually less than 6 sheets compared to Litho which can run into 100's before ink consistency and registration is perfect.
  • All our CMYK inks are held on press till they are used thus there is no ink wastage (a good thing seeing how expensive digital ink is!

Paper Waste

Whilst far less than Litho Printing, there is still an amount of wastage (averaging 3 pages per run) which is recycled through Grosvenor Waste. You can visit them at www.grosvenorwaste.co.uk.

All our paper comes from renewable farmed stocks.

We have available a 70% recycled stock called greencoat (please request a new stock swatch on 0844 815 9662).


Imaging Oil

The oil we use in our HP presses is a mineral oil. This oil is drained, normally monthly and collected by Safety-Kleen. You can visit them at www.safety-kleen.co.uk.
