Green Piece: A Green Impression

It’s everything a printing company could want in a press—it’s cleaner, greener and more energy-efficient.

In July, Glatfelter, based in York, Pa., launched a new technology for carbonless CF rolls, the CleanPressTMCF. The technology is made using a more energy-efficient manufacturing process; the reformulation runs cleaner on Glatfelter’s machines and requires fewer shut downs, requires less clean-up and reduces the amount of waste.

“These benefits are also seen at the printer,” said Greg Lovensheimer, director of commercial operations. “It leads to less downtime while running, fewer wash ups during their run and then a cleaner wash up as very little solvent needs to be used when clean-up is required. The product also has decreased VOCs versus traditional CF grades [and] is more biodegradeable and fully-recyclable.”
