Inkstar Punctuates Ink Recycling

Ink use for printers in graphics or simple printers today have had their share of the recycling era and Heidelberg, the world leader in presses and digital technology is leading by example.

Through its Saphira range of consumables, ink materials made from recycled materials is a good move to help in reducing waste. As we know, waste disposal has become a growing concern and to help put our garbage in place, efforts from companies such as Heidelberg is something that we should all follow.

The Saphira brand of inks marketed globally by Heidelberg will be extended so that print shops in Europe will have a choice between composite cartridges as well as the two-kilogram plastic-only containers that are currently available. Composite cartridges are especially eco friendly since they have a plastic valve and plunger and a cardboard cylinder made almost entirely from recycled paper. Heidelberg credits extensive testing and direct customer support for its ability to successfully launch both cartridge types in the relevant markets. Heidelberg realises that because different countries may have widely varying legal and official regulations regarding ink cartridges disposal, it is important that print shops throughout the world have the ability to choose between the two types of cartridge.
