Enviromently friendly printing

It IS easy being green

Our commitment to the environment is plain to see - we have been printing with agri-based inks for the past twenty years. We provide water-based, aqueous finish alternatives to varnish and offer FSC® and recycled content house stocks for sheetfed and heat set web printing.

 

“Lynx recycles over 950 tons of paper and 18 tons of aluminum plates annually.”

​

The mechanics behind printing is the simple law of nature that oil and water do not mix, but the technology going into making agri-based inks and helping the environment certainly do mix!

 

At Lynx, we print with agri-based inks throughout our plant - whether your job is printing sheet fed or heat set web. The inks we use are high-performance, low volatile organic compound process color inks are made with environmentally friendly raw materials which provide for: superb dot sharpness and stability, fast set and dry times, excellent rub resistance and "stay-open" ink technology reduces waste.

 

In addition, Lynx is Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certified. FSC is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging responsible management of the world's forest resources. We offer FSC-certified paper and print project that contribute toward environmental conservation, forestry stewardship, and community-level benefits for people living near the forests.
