MacDermid Printing Solutions Launches
EnvironmentalFootprint Calculator (EFC)

On April 22, Earth Day, MacDermid Printing Solutions announced the launch of a unique, interactive tool that calculates the environmental impacts of three different types of flexographic printing plates – solvent, thermal and liquid plates. The Environmental Footprint Calculator (EFC) allows users to determine the environmental impacts particular to their platemaking operations by incorporating customer-specific variables such as plate type, plate gauge, geographic location, plate size, and number of plates.

Contact your MacDermid representative to model the EFC to your specific platemaking scenario. To read the EFC White Paper, which outlines the development of the EFC, click here.
