Latex Printing (ECO) - Duggal has two new HP latex printers. These eco-friendly printers use water-based inks that are odorless and have very low levels of VOCs. Similar to the aqueous pigment inks, latex printers do not need special ventilation. The latex ink is compliant with many industry-leading certifications. Eco-Solvent Printing (MILDLY ECO) - Eco-solvent printing uses mild-solvent ink that is more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent based inks. The solvent is the liquid product in the ink that helps in the interaction of ink and the material. Hard solvents or solvent inks soften the materials and allow the inks to chemically fuse to the materials. Eco-solvent printing uses a milder solvent that still softens the material for printing but it is less dangerous than the traditional solvent prints. Digital Offset Printing (MILDLY ECO) - Our digital offset Indigo presses utilize HP’s Electroink oil-based inks as new technology is still being created. However, our press still produces little VOCs and uses almost exclusively FSC® certified and recycled papers. With Duggal’s FSC® Chain of Custody Certificate we offer official FSC® certified products. In conjunction with our FSC® certification, our business practices have been recognized by the Rainforest Alliance™. Unlike conventional offset printing, all ink used in our digital offset Indigo press is recycled back into the machine. All of the eco inks listed help promote better air quality and save on energy needed to operate the machine. All of Duggal’s machines offer outstanding quality while keeping the environment in mind. As technology is continually researched and advanced, Duggal continues to benchmark ourselves with the most cutting-edge equipment and high-quality inks available.
