All four Shutterfly manufacturing facilities become SGP certified

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), the leading authority in sustainable printing certifications, announced today certification of all four Shutterfly manufacturing facilities. Shutterfly in Ft. Mill, SC was the first to obtain certification in late 2020. Since then, the remaining locations in Plano, TX, Shakopee, MN, and Tempe, AZ achieved certified SGP Facility status.

“At Shutterfly, we are taking action to reduce our impact and make sustainable practices become habit in our operations,” said Dwayne Black, chief of operations, Shutterfly. “We are finding ways to become more energy-efficient, reuse, repurpose and recycle more and use less. Becoming SGP certified validates that we have created a successful foundation for delivering a great customer experience while doing better for the planet.”

“Shutterfly’s commitment to sustainable print operations cannot be overstated. We are pleased to welcome all four manufacturing facilities into the SGP Community,” said Jonathan Graham, SGP chair and TE Connectivity representative. “As the leading online platform for photography and personalized products, Shutterfly furthers its leadership and commitment to a sustainable future. This is a milestone for SGP and Shutterfly as we are committed to leaving our world in a better place.”

Innovative Ink From Xerox To Change Economics of Commercial Inkjet Printing

For many commercial printers, the cost savings derived from inkjet technology was offset by the expense of pre-or-post coating the paper or having to purchase specialty inkjet coated paper. With the introduction of the Xerox Trivor® 2400 High Fusion Inkjet Press, all that has changed. Xerox’s new High Fusion Ink produces high-quality results direct to offset coated paper on the Trivor 2400, removing the need for intermediate coating processes, primers or added hardware. The Trivor 2400 High Fusion Inkjet Press allows print providers to expand their inkjet media range to produce cost-effective, higher-value personalized jobs such as direct mail, catalogs, magazines and color books. High Fusion Ink is specially formulated to optimize printing and drying on offset coated media including matte, silk and glass stock from 60 to 250 gsm, up to 250 feet per minute. “The speed, great color range and ability to print on regular offset coated stock with no pre- or post-treatment makes the Trivor 2400 High Fusion Inkjet Press a breakthrough innovation in production inkjet,” said David Zwang, principal consultant, Zwang & Co. While High Fusion Ink is optimized for commodity offset coated papers, it also runs on a range of uncoated media, providing cost-effective redundancy for a versatile set of print jobs.
