At Colour Connection, we are committed to protecting our planet
Take a look at how we are implementing changes and doing our part for the planet ...
In December of 2024 we accomplished our much anticipated eco goal of installing Solar Panels on our building. This contributes to our long term aim to be able to run our business on fully renewable energy.
2024 most has brought with it, both Colour Connection's largest investment yet, and our significant step in our eco transition. Meet, Susan!
Introducing Susan the Eco Printer
“Our Lean, Green, Inkjet Production Printing Machine” -Kyocera
TASKalfa uses water-based pigment ink and up to 70% less energy consumption than a comparable laser device, the paper feeder can handle more than 14,000 sheets at a time and print 150 prints per minute, 9,000 prints per hour! With no need to use heat to fuse toner, this inkjet printing reduces power consumption, which reduces both costs, and our environmental impact.
The add-on incentive with using this inkjet technology is the Reforested project in partnership with PrintReleaf. Not only do Kyocera reforest all the paper they use as a business, they offer reforestation of all paper used by customers with a TASKalfa Pro production printer!
Knowing what we are feeding our machine also matters to us, which is why we use Soporset and Navigator stocks. Soporset paper comes from responsibly managed forests, using cutting-edge methods.
Employing forest biomass as its primary source of energy, the manufacturing process is both ethical and energy efficient. The forest managed by The Navigator Company is an important carbon sink, thus contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
