Commerce Printing Services of Sacramento, California USA has become the newest member of the Agfa GraphicsGreenWorksTM program.
Commerce Printing Services actively seeks ways to reduce its environmental impact and over the years, started utilizing soy based ink, FSC Certified paper, Greenergy® and biodiesel fuel. Commerce opted to go greener in its prepress area when the company switched to chemistry-free Azura TS plates and the Avalon CtP system from Agfa Graphics. “We are proud to be the newest member of the Agfa Graphics GreenWorks program, helping to set an example for others in the industry with forward-looking, eco-friendly printing processes,” said Gil Caravantes, Owner, Commerce Printing Services.
Azura TS, the world’s number one chemistry-free plate, is a thermal, negative-working plate designed for commercial sheet fed printing operations. The first Azura plate was introduced in 2004 at drupa. Breakthrough ThermoFuse technology has set the standard in chemistry-free platemaking ever since.
The GreenWorks program accredits customers in the graphic communications industry who achieve greener outcomes through technology, products, services and practices. In recognition of Commerce Printing Services’ remarkable efforts to be a more sustainable printing business, Agfa Graphics chose Commerce as the U.S. site for the global celebration “Azura: 10 Years of Innovation”.
Agfa Graphics is celebrating a decade of Azura, the global leading chemistry-free printing plate, by spotlighting twelve customers from all over the world. To learn more about GreenWorks or how to qualify, visit www.agfagraphics.us/greenworks.
