Some of the benefits include:

 

Energy Savings

Savings are made across both fossil fuels and electricity. Adopting a more efficient print process results in less waste, a shorter press setup time and less electricity being used for each print run.

 

Transport

The MellowCloud internet print approval system means there is no longer a need for press passing. Quite simply Mellow Colour are reducing the need to travel - resulting in less use of trains, planes and automobiles.

In addition there is a reduction in parcel delivery – physical print samples aren't required to be sent to the client for measuring and approval.

 

Consumables

Reduced water usage – improved efficiency and zero reprints means lower water consumption in printing and platemaking.

Reduced use of paper & board – shortened make ready means less substrate used. This simply equates to less trees being cut down, leaving more forests to keep our planet fresh.

Inks and solvents – less waste in production cycles, means less chemicals have to go to environmentally acceptable, and costly recycling.
