Air Emissions. Quad/Graphics’ web offset presses have integrated thermal oxidizers (ITOs) that use the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ink as a supplementary fuel source. Just like a catalytic converter on a car, the thermal oxidizers collect the VOCs, so they can be reabsorbed at the point of ignition. The printer’s 10 newest presses, installed primarily in Quad’s Wisconsin network of plants between 2004 and 2006, are all equipped with thermal oxidizers.
