Display Boards go green

We have just installed a UV large format printer for printing many types of signs and display boards . We have chosen UV inks for a number of reasons including their eco friendly credentials. The printer prints direct to the Display Boards which bring several benefits; There is less waste, they are more durable and turnround times are faster. The normal process involves printing onto paper the putting laminate to the face and double sided self adhesive film to the rear then mounting these to the board. The new process prints the inks direct to the display boards so no need for double side adhesive film and the inks are cured under UV lights. Once the lamps have cured the inks they are not only vivid but durable so there is no need for over laminate. An added benefit is that inks can be used indoors or outdoor since they a resistance to UV light and are waterproof. As a company we are focused on becoming more green. This is just the first stage we are on the look out for way to reduce the companies carbon footprint and are researching new recyclable materials.
