Our environment

Advanced Press takes environmentally sustainable printing practices very seriously.

We have expertise printing on a variety of specialty environmentally friendly papers, inks and processes. Our team is kept current with the latest printing related sustainable developments and are committed to help you make the right choices for your printing projects.

Ink
Soy based inks are used on all our print presses. Vegetable ink technology now gives us higher print quality and functionality than conventional petroleum-derived inks and reduces the amount of volatile organic compounds released.

CTP
100% Computer-to-Plate technology, which uses no film, and generates none of the waste associated with film processing is the standard at Advanced Press.

Paper and paper products
We recycle all paper waste in our production cycle. This includes: trimmings from paper cutters both pre and post press, and production waste from bindery operations. Office paper products are collected and included into our recycling program.

Timber
All timber pallets and crating off-cuts are recycled.

Plastics
All plastic containers and packaging shrink wrap are sent to outside sources for recycling.

Metals
Metal printing plates, steel pallet strapping, and other metal materials are assembled and purchased by appropriate vendors and recycled accordingly. Metal drums are returned to the supplier and refilled or recycled.
