Sustainability in Manufacturing Is No Longer Optional
From brand mandates to government regulations, sustainability is now a core requirement in print and packaging. But for many print teams, the path to greener operations feels like a trade-off: reduce waste or maintain quality—not both.
The good news? You don’t have to choose.
The Hidden Waste in Traditional Workflows
Manual color control and fragmented workflows create more waste than you think:
- Reprints due to color mismatches
- Excess ink and substrate usage during setup
- Frequent wash-ups and press downtime
- Shipping physical samples for approvals
These inefficiencies not only hurt your margins—they increase your environmental footprint.
Smarter Color Control = Greener Operations
Modern print teams are turning to centralized, digital color workflows to reduce waste and improve repeatability:
- Remote Approvals: Share digital color data with brand teams to minimize shipping samples Extended
- Gamut Printing: Reduce spot ink usage and wash-ups
- Centralized Color Libraries: Ensure consistency across presses and sites
- Real-Time Scoring: Catch issues early and reduce material waste
