Presses Remain the Key Attraction at drupa and in 2008 Printers will not be Disappointed

Reducing environmental impact of printing

The other great movement at drupa, partly achieved through bringing down make ready and wastage, is going to be the steady reduction in environmental impact of the printing process. It is no longer necessary or legal in many areas, to run presses with high concentrations of IPA or to use cleaning solvents with high VOC content. All manufacturers are going to emphasise how they are reducing the environmental impact of the press and running with non-alcohol founts is going to be everywhere.
