Getting to Know Eco-Friendly Printing Technology
Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important and directly impact our daily lives. Hug Sticker are deeply concerned about and aware of the problem of global warming. That’s why we choose to use eco-friendly printing technologies, sustainable materials, and non-toxic inks.
Eco-Friendly Printing Technology
HP Latex
is a printing technology developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) that uses water-based inks as its primary component to create printed images. This technology is implemented in HP Latex printers, which are designed to support printing on a wide variety of materials such as vinyl, canvas, stickers, paper, and other specialty materials. The key features of HP Latex technology include its versatility for both indoor and outdoor use, the absence of harmful chemicals, and its eco-friendly nature.
HP Latex 800 and HP Latex 570
are industrial-grade printers that use HP's water-based Latex ink technology, designed to meet the demands of commercial printing and high-resolution printing. The HP Latex 800 has a special feature: the ability to print with white ink, enabling the creation of complex and highly detailed prints on a variety of materials such as vinyl, stickers, paper, and fabric.
Eco-Friendly Features of the HP Latex 800 and 570:
- Non-Toxic Latex Inks: The inks used in both HP Latex printers are free from VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), have no strong odors, and are non-toxic, making them safe for users and minimizing air pollution.
- Zero Toxic Emissions: The printing process with HP Latex technology emits no harmful toxins, allowing safe use in controlled air environments or indoor settings.
- Environmental Certifications: HP Latex inks are internationally certified with standards like UL ECOLOGO® and GREENGUARD Gold, confirming that the products are safe and environmentally friendly.
- Energy-Efficient Printing Process: Both printers are designed to consume less energy compared to conventional printers, helping to reduce resource usage and environmental impact.
- Recyclable Printing Materials: They support printing on recyclable or reusable materials, promoting sustainable resource use and reducing waste generation.
HP Latex Inks
are water-based inks developed by HP for use in their HP Latex printers. These inks are known for their eco-friendly properties and safety in use, as they are free from harmful chemicals such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that are often found in other types of inks.
Eco-Friendly Features of HP Latex Inks:
- Free from Harmful Chemicals: HP Latex inks are certified to be free from harmful chemicals such as VOCs, which are commonly found in other types of inks. As a result, HP inks do not produce harmful fumes that could endanger the health of users and the environment.
- Strong Adhesion Without Toxic Substances: Despite being non-toxic, HP Latex inks maintain excellent adhesion to printing materials without the need for harmful chemicals. These inks are also highly durable for outdoor use, making them an ideal choice for printing stickers and commercial prints.
- International Safety Standards: HP Latex inks are certified by several international organizations, such as UL ECOLOGO® and GREENGUARD Gold, which confirm that these inks are safe for human health and the environment. Users can be confident in the safety of using HP Latex inks for various printing applications.
- Recyclable: In addition to being environmentally friendly during use, HP Latex inks are also easily recyclable. This is part of HP's commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable resource use.
