there is no such thing as green printing
- That is true. I ran a press for over 25 years. We didn't use water to clean up the ink.lemmy_k

we switched to eco friendly and soy/veggie inks for a short spell - it isnt as pretty for al gores earth as they say.
- Some printers use soy inks now, we qualify for a Soy Seal Logos around 8-12% on our CMYKEricMedina

soy/veggie inks is both good and bad.
ex. if they cutting down the rainforest to plant soy based shit.
we really haven't moved in the right direction.

^ for us it was the drainage and waste from the inks - cant just dump that in a hole out back... had to pay a lot of money and use up a lot of fuel driving all over the place to dispose of it properly. plus, we found we had to really saturate to get the same coverage with the soy inks, using more and spending more on it... just didnt make sense for us or the environment really.
