Eco-Friendly Printing at Colouring Craft: Embracing Sustainability in Every Pixel

At Colouring Craft, our dedication to sustainability is at the core of our printing and publishing services. We recognise the importance of fostering a harmonious relationship with our environment and actively contribute to the conservation efforts through our eco-friendly printing practices, known affectionately as 'green printing'. Understanding that conventional printing can harm nature if not managed responsibly, we've revolutionised our process to ensure that every page printed not only looks good but also feels good for the planet. Here's how we make a difference:

1. Sustainable Paper Choices
We exclusively use the highest quality eco-friendly paper, reducing our reliance on chemical inks and the release of harmful substances into our precious environment.

2. Vegetable-Based Inks
Our printing utilizes soy and other vegetable-based inks, eliminating the need for toxic solvents that are detrimental to both nature and our health.

3. Offset Printing Innovations
Embracing offset printing, we use oil-based colors to create vibrant, long-lasting images. Our process is meticulously designed to distribute ink efficiently, minimizing waste and ensuring a high-quality print.

4. Digital Printing Advancements
Our digital printing techniques are a leap forward, avoiding traditional plate pressing and instead creating a rich layer of ink on recyclable paper, resulting in prints that stand the test of time without fading.

5. Water-less Printing Approach
We've eliminated the need for water in our lithographic printing, using modern non-invasive chemicals and precise temperature control to transfer color, significantly reducing our ecological impact.

6. Reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Our green printing press emits 80% less VOC, substantially cutting down on environmental pollution and safeguarding the ecosystem. 

Latest Sustainable Methods Adopted by Colouring Craft:
• LED UV Printing:
We use ultraviolet light to dry ink instantly, which uses less energy and results in sharp, vivid prints without the need for additional coatings.
• Recycled and Virgin Paper Balance:
We understand the paper cycle and ensure that our paper sources are sustainably managed, offering both recycled and virgin paper options.
• Carbon Balanced Paper and Print:
Our CO2 emissions during production are offset, and we continually strive to reduce our carbon footprint in partnership with environmental organizations.
• Uncoated Paper Printing:
For an earthy, natural feel and easier recycling, we use uncoated paper that’s perfect for the LED UV press and friendly to the recycling process.
