Environment Frendly Products

Special Substrates

We are serious about taking care of our environment and for that reason HPI is proud to offer a variety of "green" environmentally preferable products for graphic and sign production, some in stock and some by special order. These products and services have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared to other products and services that serve the same purpose. BIOflex and BIOboard are two such products currently in use.

We are committed to staying abreast of the latest developments in environmentally friendly substrates suitable for graphics production and will consider special order materials as suggested by our customers.

UV Inks

A major part of HPI's Environmental Initiative is the installation of additional UV Ink Printers in Summer of 2009, thus eliminating all solvent ink based printers in the production facility. HPI now has a variety of UV Ink printers from VuTek and Roland. Using these printers is a more conscientious way to print large-format prints for a number of reasons:

  • UV inks release almost zero VOC’s (Volitile Organic Compounds) into the atmosphere. This creates a safer workplace for our employees as well as a healthier global environment.
  • The Vutek printers are the highest-quality printers on the market today. Their consistency in color and tone allows for less waste and better use of material.
  • The Vutek printers have the capability of printing on a wide range of materials including a number of “green” materials that keep our environment in mind.
