swissQprint inks are Greenguard Gold certified

swissQprint’s current range of UV inkjet inks are now Greenguard and Greenguard Gold certified, widening the scope for users, with printed products that are safe for use in critical environments such as schools and hospitals. The company explains this is a potential competitive advantage for digital print providers in addition to added versatility of the Swiss precision printers.

Greenguard certification aims to ensure that products for indoor use comply with strict upper limits to chemical emissions for a healthier room atmosphere. Greenguard Gold sets even stricter certification criteria with added emphasis on the safety of at-risk groups, such as children and the elderly. As swissQprint explains, this ensures that products are suitable for use in places such as schools and healthcare facilities. Both the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design building rating system (LEED) reference the Greenguard programme.
