“Except for fluorescents and metallics, we try to stay as far away from petroleum-based inks as possible,” says owner Tim Alton, adding that Murray’s pressroom is largely alcohol-free. The company’s environmental mandate received a big boost in 2004 with the installation of a chemistry-free and waterless 52DI press from Presstek. In addition to eliminating the hazardous imaging chemicals and dampening solutions of conventional offset processes, Alton points out, Murray Print Shop has seen a significant decrease in the volume of its makeready waste since the DI press was installed.
