Be Waste Wise
Commercial lithographic printing on traditional offset presses is an incredibly wasteful and dirty process, regardless of the types of ink you use. Whether it be during set-up, clean-up, or imaging, traditional offset presses waste incredible amounts of paper, chemical solvents, and energy before the first deliverable sheet is even printed. This means that traditional offset outputs "Volatile Organic Compounds" (the stuff responsible for global warming) at rates exponentially higher than that of new offset technologies.
Instead of a traditional offset press, Newmark chose to invest in print engines which are a quantum leap ahead of older technologies in terms of quality and direct environmental impact. Our state-of-the-art Digital Offset Press delivers true offset quality while increasing energy efficiency, dramatically cutting-down on waste, and eliminating the chemical baths associated with traditional offset.
Additionally, most if not all of our paper-stock comes from non-bleached, post-consumer recycled paper and/or from renewable resources produced on farms as close to our warehouse as possible. We refuse to use paper from any company that does not comply with the highest standards of clean air and water or aim to create a truly sustainable product.
In the end, however, engaging in sustainable business practices is not about buzz words, marketing, or image. It's about creating a world where we work to first limit, then eliminate the negative ways in which we impact it and reduce the strains we place upon out natural resources. This is why we do it, and why we invite you to engage in a conversation with us about the steps we are taking to help that future become a reality.
