Eco-Friendly T-shirts
Impressionz Printing offers the option to go Green! In order to screen print shirts in an economically friendly way we print with waterbase inks. Water based inks use water as a base opposed to the PVC material base used in plastisol. Aside from using water-based inks, we also can use water to wash away the ink in the clean up process. There is much more that goes into the process of printing economically friendly than just using eco-friendly inks.
Apparel- In order to get a 100% environmentally friendly finished product one must use a natural or organic material. The most popular eco-friendly apparel is organic cotton. The first step to choosing a organic apparel manufacturer is by verifying that they are a reputable manufacturer. Standard t-shirts can be sprayed with up to 300% of it's weight in pesticides. Our select manufacturers are certified and practice fair labor practices.
From the screen preparation to shipping the finished product—Impressionz printing is doing what we can to keep our planet green. For instance, we give the customer the option to use 100% organic cotton garments while seeking economically friendly prints. In addition, we reuse silk screens, reuse films for previous clients, use environmentally safe cleaning agents, send invoices via email (less paper waste), as well as reusing old boxes that are cut down to size to fit each custom order.
