Inks and Environmental Issues — Compliance vs. Quality

Kevin Facklam, manager of product safety and regulatory information services at INX International Ink, explains that this voluntary program assists printers as they go through their shops with a step-by-step compliance guide, which lists 13 areas of concern, ranging from air emissions and waste-water discharge to environmental auditing. Participating printers must pass an annual pollution-prevention assessment in order to display the Great Printers emblem on their products.
