Brian Wolfenden, director of marketing communications at Presstek says, “Presstek is supporting the Verdigris Project because it can help printers to improve their carbon footprint. Printers today also realise that being environmentally friendly is a sound business strategy that can save them money and result in new opportunities.”

He continues, “I believe that the Verdigris Project will help to get more printers and print buyers educated on the social and business benefits of environmentally friendly printing on a global basis.”

The Verdigris raises awareness through co-operative content development shared with an international network of trade publishers. The Project also claims to be creating a dialogue with printing markets worldwide.

Laurel Brunner, one of Verdigris’ founders says, “We are delighted to have Presstek on board, supporting the promotion of the importance and benefits of improving print’s effect on the environment,”

Brunner continues, “In supporting Verdigris Presstek is further reinforcing its commitment to helping printers operate efficiently while reducing their carbon footprints.”

Presstek outlines that its DI presses eliminate plate chemistry and water from the printing process, while significantly reducing VOCs and waste.

The company adds that these presses are engineered to profitably produce runs as low as 250 sheets on a wide selection of stocks and chemistry-free CTP eliminates all chemistry from the platemaking process.
