For LAgraphico, the decision to become more environmentally responsible began several years ago. The Southern California printer was handling a lot of projects from studio clients
who were very environmentally conscious. Dan Stillwell, president and CEO of LAgraphico notes, “The printing industry is not the most environmentally friendly industry in the world,
so we wanted to do our part to make a difference.” Today they run a healthy, odor free and sustainable pressroom thanks to their partnership with Amerikal in the production of a blanket wash that
is almost completely VOC-free.
