Environmentally friendly printing ?

In a world where printed media is all around us it is sometimes hard to see how you can help reduce your carbon footprint whilst still operating your business successfully.

Most companies will try and make you believe they are environmentally friendly whilst in reality this is not always the case. The vast majority of the worlds companies have been struggling to survive over the past seven years so helping the environment has far too often become less important.

At RGL Displays we do everything we can to help with these environmental issues while not compromising on quality of product or service.

One of the most recent changes we have made is to purchase a latex wide format printer which enables us to print the vast majority of out outdoor signage using environmentally friendly water based inks which have been GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified® and meet AgBB criteria3. This printer uses inks which contain no Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) according to EPA Method 311.

Printing with environmentally friendly inks helps but there are other things that can be done to help further, like re-using old display stands and having new graphics printed instead of ordering completely new stands every time. This helps by using far less raw materials like Aluminium.

At RGL we print replacement graphics for most exhibition stands including pop up stands and roller banners. In fact many of our biggest clients save there old banner stands and return to us to use on their following campaigns.

Another simple way to help the environment is to get it right first time ! What we mean by this is printing with less waste and less mistakes. Our staff are highly trained and take a pride in their work and very rarely have to reprint due to errors. Also all of our clients work is digitally proofed first before printing to avoid reprints due to design errors.

We continue to look at different ways to help the environment and look forward to working with you in the future.
