This allows our users to break free from OEM inks with a reduced risk.

Light FASTNESS

A professional answer is required

The most commonly used method of measuring light fastness of a printed material is to expose it to a special artificial light with a spectrum similar to the sun light.
Material sample will be exposed together with a special wool counter-sample printed with 8 grades of Blue dye (Blue Wool Scale).

SUSTAINABILITY

INX DIGITAL IS GREEN
Environmental protection is a priority for the conservation of precious natural resources and the continued health of our planet. INX Digital recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually striving to reduce the environmental impact of the work we do and the products we create.

INX DIGITAL AND THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
INX Digital takes pride in its history of innovation and thoughtful design. But technological leadership goes beyond what’s in our products. How we impact the environment is also important to us, and environmental considerations are an integral part of INX Digital’s business practices. From the earliest stages of product design through manufacturing, use, and recycling, we take care to keep our activities and our products environmentally sound. Four areas of particular attention are product and packaging design, responsible manufacturing, energy efficiency, and recycling. Each aspect of the design cycle provides significant challenges, yet our efforts in these areas have resulted in some impressive results.

R&D
Our research and development efforts continue to look for opportunities to utilize environmentally friendly raw materials and develop new products that have the least impact on our environment. We choose raw materials and processes that maximize the use of renewable and recyclable materials. We identify and utilize the best-available technology that is both environmentally friendly and economically viable to meet our customers’ requirements.

OUR HEALTH & SAFETY TEAM
Our Environment, Health & Safety team works internally, with our customers, and with local communities in which we operate to ensure that we are meeting or exceeding standards set by regulatory and industry organizations around the world.

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPONENTS
To reduce emissions of Volatile Organic Components (VOC’s) we have adopted the use of more environment-friendly raw materials.
Examples include the replacement of petroleum oil with naturally replenishable vegetable oils such as soy, the replacement of solvent-based materials with water-based and the utilization of UV curable raw materials formulated without VOC solvents.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING DESIGN
It all begins here. Reducing the environmental impact of our products starts with the product design.
Design dictates the number of raw materials, type and recyclability of materials, methods for manufacturing and use, and the ease of recycling or disposing of.
