Printing supplies begin to embrace the green future of printing

Looking back over the past few years, vigorously promote green in the country Under the active propaganda of printing and society on the concept of green printing, with the "Technical Requirements for Environmental Labeling Products, Printing Part I: Lithography", "Technical Requirements for Environmental Labeling Products, Printing, Part II: Printing of Commercial Papers " and other standards have been promulgated and implemented. The greening process of consumables continues to accelerate, and “green” has become the main theme of the development of printing consumables. Many green printing consumables such as rice bran ink, recycled paper, alcohol-free dampening solution, and CTP- free printing plate have made the printing enterprises lament the rapid change of green printing technology , and the cost and process maturity of green printing consumables are inevitable. Have doubts.

It is undeniable that many printing companies have avoided the green printing consumables due to cost reasons. They believe that green printing consumables are only the exclusive products of some large printing companies. But does the use of green printing supplies bring to the printing company only a rise in costs? But in fact, it's not. For example, the use of alcohol-free dampening solution not only saves the cost of ethanol, but also improves the quality of printed products and improves the environment of the workshop; the application of environmentally-friendly car wash water can not only save the amount of car wash water, but also not cause harm to human health; The use of vegetable oil-based inks not only achieves printing requirements with less ink, but also does not easily cause printing failures. From this point of view, the hidden costs saved by using green printing consumables are immeasurable. The cost of using green consumables in printing companies should be considered comprehensively, and should not only focus on the procurement cost of green printing consumables.
