Latex print technology is sustainable, durable and versatile.
Impress Print Services has invested in a new latex water based printer. This makes our workflow speedy and we’re agile to tackle ambitious projects. It’s also exciting to help lead the change in more sustainable large format and signage printing.
The latex printer uses water based print heads to distribute ink onto paper or other media. The ink contains up to 65% water dries fast and can be rolled immediately after printing – it’s so amazing!
Everything is designed for sustainable impact; the printer and cartridge materials, ink chemistry, printer operation/production, the print itself, print display and the print end of life.
Wait for it… the image and colour quality is excellent too! Latex inks are scratch resistant compared with eco-solvent inks which are easy to scratch and typically need to be laminated.
Recycle banners and other large format print
Latex printing is designed for recycling which is great news for our clients. The Impress ‘Large Format Banner/Media recycling take back service’ is free of charge. Once your prints are no longer in use please give us a call. We would like to help you make responsible disposal decisions for the printed and scrap large-format materials that have been printed by us. This means we can all help continue to drive sustainable impact.
