EFI UV Printers, Canvassing Green Future
Becoming greener is the sum of several variables for the printing industry: the cost of printers, printer parts, inks, and energy to name only a few. Although many environmentally-friendly alternatives are available today that are a step in the right direction to align the business and environmental requirements, there are significant green benefits of EFI UV printer solutions over other solutions.
Arrow Digital is always on the Greener Path and we promote this technology to the market for decades. Almost all our printers are GreenGuard Certified. EFI LED inks contain less than .03% volatile organic compounds and are void of heavy metals. The inks also offer one of the widest color gamuts in the print industry and deliver consistent, repeatable results every time. GREENGUARD GOLD and RoHS Certification ensures that a product has met world's most rigorous and comprehensive standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air.
As the awareness to be Greener is in the Air, everyone is becoming more conscious and demand healthier atmosphere, indoor air quality is closely tied to health, and is therefore recognized as an important concern in homes, schools, healthcare environments and commercial spaces. Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from building materials and furnishings are a major source of indoor air pollution. Becoming greener, more profitable business is the sum of many factors, including your printers, inks, consumables, energy consumption, water usage and waste. You also need a solution that helps your business expand into more short-run applications across many substrates, and lowers your printer’s total cost of ownership by increasing your productivity and operational efficiency. EFI LED technology can do all this and more.
In the value of green technologies in print businesses today there is no question that the printing industry is concerned about the climate. However, many print companies struggle to align their environmental obligations and international legislation in today's dynamic business climate with consumer demands for greener solutions that operate across a wide variety of short-run applications and substrates. Inks Green or eco-friendly inks are classified as inks containing the highest quantity of available bio-derived, sustainable raw materials and the lowest possible levels of Volatile Organic Compound.
Uses Ink Derived From Renewable Sources
EFI UV curing inks contain up to 50% monomers and oligomers naturally derived from renewable sources such as plants and biomass. These inks contain almost no VOCs and do not contain heavy metals, such as antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, or selenium. They are not deemed hazardous waste under such legislation, such as the U.S. Waste Regulations RCRA.
EFI Genuine Inks
Genuine EFI™ Inks and Coatings are custom-formulated for every EFI inkjet printing system. EFI ensures you get the highest color quality, durability, performance, reliability consistency and predictable running costs. Add extensive color range, and you’ve got all the elements you need to reliably produce crisp, vivid images for a wide variety of wide format, superwide and soft signage printing applications. With Genuine EFI Inks and Coatings, you'll always print with flying colors. The EFI LED UV inks are specially formulated to offer a wide color gamut and deliver consistent, repeatable results. With the ability to print on thinner, heat-sensitive and speciality substrates, you can offer customers more applications and lower cost material options. Virtually no VOCs make our LED inks a greener printing solution.
Cool Cure LED Technology
The "cool cure" LED technology and increased productivity to facilitate faster and more efficient job production than ever before. With no VOCs, less consumables and waste, low energy consumption, and the ability to print on recycled and other materials without introducing warping or head strikes, users can more easily satisfy customer requests for a greener printing solution.Â
Ink Is Designed For Direct Printing
EFI UV printers are designed for direct printing on a wide variety of flexible and rigid substrates (e.g., PVC, wood, foamcore, coroplast, aluminum, vinyl, polycarbonate, and an increasing array of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials and do not require special coatings, saving you time and money.
Flexible Printing
Some of the industry's most productive printers available today are EFI UV printers. And its inherent flexibility helps you to print directly on rigid and flexible substrates, reduce time and costs of set-up and make-ready, and with fewer steps, transform jobs faster. There is no ideal solution, but it will put you a few steps closer to achieving a smaller footprint and greater profitability by recognizing the available choices' environmental effect.
Versatility
In a broad range of large and small print shops, flatbed and hybrid EFI UV Printers help them expand and diversify. Larger print shops can now embrace short-run print jobs and long-run assignments with numerous printing capacities, significantly growing business prospects and revenues.
Along with managing colour management and production schedules, the ability to manufacture customized and smaller-sized parts and long-run projects enables larger shops to monitor timelines and delivery schedules easily.
Our aim at Arrow is to offer a complete sustainable process for printing hence we are promoting only direct UV print with GreenGuard Gold and RoHS certified inks.Â
