The Waterless Printing Association

The Monarch Butterfly symbolises nature and a concern for it. The Waterless Printing Association has adopted it for its logo. We are proud to be members.

Printing can cause real damage to the environment. Our choices of presses greatly reduce the stress we could put on the environment.

BENEFITS FOR YOU
You can feel better – knowing that you are doing your bit for the environment (without having to pay more). And you can shout about it. Any material printed on our waterless press may carry the Monarch Butterfly logo.

Additionally, you get better quality. Waterless printing can create far more photographic detail than some conventional printing. With up to 50 percent less dot gain (printed dots soaking into and spreading on the paper), waterless presses create more clarity and depth, especially in the shadow and mid-tone areas of a picture.
 

Air:

Waterless printing reduces the amount of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that are released into the atmosphere, thus causing less danger to the ozone layer

Water:

Conventional litho presses use an enormous amount of water and so puts stress on the earth’s limited supply of water safe for human consumption. Choosing waterless printing avoids this. Harmful chemicals that can pollute water are also no longer used.

Trees:

With waterless printing, there is almost no ‘make ready’ involved. This is because the waterless press comes to the right colour quickly. The result is far less waste of paper.
