Our Eco-friendly Digital Printing

At A Local Printer we have been offering digital printing as a cost-effective option for smaller quantities since 2008. Although digital printing presses weren’t exactly steam powered in those days, they certainly weren’t the Super Car versions that we enjoy today!  We now on our third digital press; each new press must meet stringent production criteria, deliver demonstrable environmental benefits and achieve exceptional quality demands in order for it to even be considered by us as a production press. Our current press is so far exceeding all of our expectations and we are happy to introduce it here. 

For the ultimate in new eco-friendly digital technology the Ricoh C900 Pro is the best on the market. 

• The press itself is International Energy Star certified, meets EPEAT Silver criteria and is EU RoHS certified.
• The toners (called Colour PxP EQ) are a new generation of polymerised toner that achieves co-existence of eco-friendliness and quality through low-temperature fixing and high colour definition.
• Essentially the press and toners combined save on energy consumption, reduce CO2 and adopt plant based bio mass material for the most eco-friendly digital printing.
• Plus it looks really cool in grey.

 

High Quality Printing

The quality of your printing, especially on recycled boards, is dramatically improved. This is down to the new groundbreaking toners developed by Ricoh which flow freely across the paper and into all the little craters that are present on the paper’s surface, ensuring a full and even coverage of colour.

What digital printing benefits can you look forward to?

Thicker boards. This new digital press allows us to print up to heavy 400gsm so fabulous for high quality, small runs of business cards. Can’t wait! 

Textured and synthetic materials. Say ‘howdy doody’ to a totally new range of materials now suitable for digital printing. From Conqueror Stonemarque to kraft, metallic, glossy and pulp boards our new Ricoh press eats up textured and speciality papers and delivers stunning results.  I see a whole new range of gorgeous greeting cards and invitations waiting in the wings. 

Endless possibilities. This new baby comes with the option of creating up to 1,000 different paper profiles. That’s an awfully big range of materials to play with and we’re looking for playmates. 

Digital dynamism. Variable Data Printing (VDP) creates opportunities to personally reach out to customers in targeted campaigns.  Get up close quickly and easily and embrace this powerful marketing medium.

Eco-friendly. Well, that goes without saying really. The press itself is International Energy Star certified, meets EPEAT Silver criteria and is EU RoHS certified. The toners (called Colour PxP EQ) are a new generation of polymerised toner that achieves co-existence of eco-friendliness and quality through low-temperature fixing and high colour definition.

We are thrilled to say that our Ricoh press is currently the most advanced digital press available and as such will elevate our small order/digital printing products into new and exciting realms!
