We care about the environment
“At Positive Existence we take the environmental effects of what we do very seriously. We primarily use soy and water-based inks and always offer our clients paper certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) as an alternative.”
Vege Ink
Vegetable oil based inks with organic color! Resin-based inks are the most commonly used throughout our industry. These resins are not only environmentally harmful to produce, but are extremely difficult to dispose of properly without releasing toxins into our air, soil and air. We are currently in the process of switching over to SOY based inks, which are less hazardous to the environment.
Nature Woven
These materials are 100% natural, biodegradable and compostable. Sustainable, green printing solutions that do less harm to the environment.
PRESSTEK
Chemical FREE direct-to-plate technology! The process uses lasers to burn the image to be printed directly onto the plate material which keeps toxic chemicals, that are used in most platesetters and all filmsetters, from being released into the environment. This also increases the quality of the final product and reduces the turnaround time on jobs.
AmeriPride
Completely recycled wash water! All of our rags and uniforms are washed at a state of the art facility which uses a process that recycles the dirty wash water and detergents.
