Sustainable Printing

We have all been talking for a long time about being “GREEN” and “Environmentally Conscious” but what does that really mean to us and our customers. As printers do we think going green will increase our costs at this uncertain time.

Do we think our customers pay more for sustainable print or from environmentally accredited companies?

As printers, we are in a position to look at how we work and how this impacts on the environment. The big cooperate companies we deal with are driven by policy and lots will insist on dealing with sustainable print solutions and will pay for this.

At grassroots, this can be different but consumers attitudes are changing, given the pandemic we are all more focused on the vulnerability of us and our plant and making sure we look after it for the future.

So what can HP and Latex Printers do to help the environment and my business?

HP Latex ink is water based nickel free and odourless where solvent have potentially harmful VOC’s and give off a strong smell while printing and after. Latex printing provides a better working environment for you and your team helping increased productivity.
You can sell into food, retail, hospitals and government sectors with peace of mind and differentiation from others. Use HP environmental accreditation to help endorse your message with ECOLOGO, GREENGUARD, FSC and more.
HP offer a recycle programme for used cartridges and media, cartridges on the Latex 700/800 are now Eco Cartons reducing plastic used by 80%.
No localised ventilation is required, the ink is also non-flammable and non-combustible.

This is all achieved at no premium in cost to you so you can deliver an environmental product and increase your margin by having a key differentiation from your competitors.

HP would point out the following key benefits of a sustainable business:

Improve employee pride and morale and attract and keep motivated employees
Improve your public relations
Attract more consumers concerned about sustainability
Demonstrate leadership and commitment
Bring peace of mind from reduced concerns about health and safety liability

Let HP help you to be a more sustainable printer and enable you to deliver that message to your customers. Get in touch with us to learn more about HP Latex Printing and HP environmental programmes.
