45% of paper is recyled in the U.S. Save trees, reduce toxic waste, feel good! Effects of Color is helping to save our eco system! We use recyled certified papers, vegetable based inks and a waterless printing process. A major advantage of waterless printing is the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the printing process. Waterless presses are much more efficient in paper use than conventional printing. They come up to color and register much faster, and hold those consistently throughout the press run, meaning that they save paper - savings of up to 40 percent have been reported.
