To the end, we continue to emphasize our environmentally-friendly wallscapes and wall coverings, which combine aesthetic beauty with practical innovation.
Sustainable Printing Technology
Traditional printers still rely on solvent ink. This type of ink is visually effective because it fuses into the substrate, but creating a print produces high VOCs. Operators need to install complicated ventilation systems to stay safe. Safety measures are also required for companies to recycle solvent prints.
Duggal employs multiple sustainable printing alternatives.
1. UV Printing
Solvent inks penetrate the surface of the printing material. UV ink, by contrast, rests on the surface and is cured as it’s exposed to UV light.
UV ink-based prints are environmentally-friendly because they’re VOC-free and recyclable. The ink dries quickly, which reduces production time and improves image clarity. Whether you want a simple stretched canvas print or a wall-to-wall covering, Duggal’s sophisticated UV printers can handle the job.
2. Latex Printing
Latex printers use water-based inks with extremely low levels of VOCs. Operators don’t need to worry about expensive ventilation systems.
Eco-Solvent Printing
Eco-solvent printing is more environmentally friendly than solvent printing because it uses mild-solvent ink. The process is the same, but the solvent is less harmful.
