At All Star Signs, we stay out of politics. We are all about producing quality signage for our customers at a price they can afford. However, we also believe in taking care of Mother Earth and leaving a world that is clean enough for our children and grandchildren to live in. This is why we look for green solutions whenever we can. Our HP Latex 360 printer is environmentally friendly, and that is why it is one of our favorite pieces of equipment.
HP Latex Printers Are the Next Step
Eco-solvents were designed to be good for the environment. And, they were an improvement in printing technology. Yet, they do not compare to what one can do with HP Latex printing technology. Even organizations that are just concerned with the practical benefits will find that these printers allow us to complete projects on much tighter timelines.
HP Latex printers are also versatile enough to handle interior and heavy duty exterior applications at a high image quality. We can even print on a wide selection of substrates and media, including fabrics. In fact, there are over 500 different printing materials that these printers can support.
With solvents and other inks, there are odor issues associated with producing prints. This will not do in public places where people of all levels of odor sensitivities have a right to be. And many corporate print buyers, including Starbucks and Whole Foods, have banned the use of eco-solvents in their prints because of concerns about scents and harmful solvents from outgassing. Fortunately, HP Latex prints are completely odorless and safe for even the smallest spaces.
Latex Already Has a Track Record
In the short time that HP Latex printers have been on the market, they have already been used to print the equivalent of 19 million roll-up banners. And, as many as 90 percent of current owners would recommend the technology. These printers have also won a long list of industry awards from the Wide Format Imaging Awards, the Business Equipment Research & Test Laboratories, and many more. So, you can see why we are gaga about our printer: it helps us to serve you better.
What Does All of This Mean for You?
In addition to faster turnaround times as mentioned above, latex inks offer consistent and vivid colors that are just as durable as eco-solvent inks. Without lamination, the outdoor display permanence for latex prints is as long as three years. And, when we laminate it for you, this number goes up to five years. On your interior, you can expect vibrant graphics for up to a decade with lamination and five years without.
Finally, if you run a company that wants to appeal to consumers who care about the environment, using latex inks for your print materials is a must. It adds just another line to your green resume and shows you are committed to sustainability.
