Eco inks and print production

Printing inks

 

Due to our continual evaluation of our print production processes, we have utilised environmentally friendly inks within our litho printing workflow. This helps to reduce the environmental impact of the printing process.

 

With traditional mineral-based inks there are three main areas of concern:

  • VOCs - emitted as the ink dries
  • Heavy metals - these are contained in certain pigments (particularly metallic colours) and can result in environmental and worker health hazards
  • Non-renewable resources - the oil content in non-vegetable oil inks is petroleum-based


That is why Marstan Press only use the Alpha Eco Range of Inks as standard. They are based on 100% renewable resources, do not contain heavy metals and are neither toxic or hazardous to health. When you get a litho print quote from Marstan Press - you get competitive costs, ethical production and eco friendly print.
