Fact or Fiction: Green Printing According to Mercer Color

While most of these are good environmental practices that contribute to an overall encompassing green program, they do not have any effect on the actual printing process. Here at Mercer Color, we define green printing as a manufacturing process using products and procedures that greatly reduce or eliminate HAPS (Hazardous Air Pollutants), 313s (Federal SARA List of community right to know substances), VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) [as defined by test method 24], and California proposition 65 chemicals (chemicals known to produce reproductive harm or carcinogens). Additionally, we require MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) to list the above and all individual State data.
