Reducing the energy, solvents, VOCs and waste you utilize and generate willbe good for your business image and financials, good for the planet and will be critical tokeeping printing a competitive communications choice.Create less wasteBALDWIN filtration units will help you reduce the amount of fountain solutionwaste you generate considerably.Innovative energy savingsBALDWIN’s advanced cooling systems utilize free cooling where frequencycontrolleddrives cut in only when required, adjusting power automatically toeliminate the unnecessary use of energy.Environmental legislation and regulationsare constantly being tightenedworldwide, and BALDWIN systems andconsumables will deliver important benefitsas you put into place plans to meetthe tighter guidelines and sustainabilitystandards that await us all in the nearfuture.Specifically, this means• Using less energy and reducingemissions• Using fewer chemicals and cleaningagents, and disposing of them safely• Saving on water and paper – andso protecting resources• Being certified to sustainabilitystandards (e. g. EMAS, ISO 14001,‘carbon-neutral printing’)At BALDWIN, we are working constantlyto improve our products, to ensure theyare all environmentally efficient andwill today meet the tighter guidelinesand regulations of the future.

Your BALDWINsales professional will be pleasedto discuss how we can assist you inbecoming a moreenvironmentallyefficient printer.Use less paperBALDWIN cleaning systems reduce wash cycle times and accomplish thiswith considerably less consumable usage and operator involvement. The endresult is a more highly tuned automatic blanket cleaning technology thatwill substantially lower total paper waste and consumable costs. Replacingan older cleaning system with new ImpactFusion cleaning will in most casesproduce an ROI (return on investment) of less than a year.Use fewer cleaning solvents and chemicalsOur PREPAC impregnated cleaning cloths contain only the amount ofcleaning agent needed to clean a blanket or impression cylinder perfectly.Chemicals only go where they are needed, and therefore minimize thecontamination of the fountain solution. PREPAC is a low VOC cleaning consumableand is making a major contribution for printers as they adapt tomeet new VOC guidelines and regulation limits in many regions of the world.
