Flower City Printing worked with ink and solution suppliers to develop a balance between alcohol-free fountain solutions and inks composed of renewable resources. “We modified our equipment and added infrared dryers to accelerate the drying time. In the end, we were able to continue to produce high-quality printing in a much safer environment,” says Oliveri. “Alcohol has not been used in the FCP pressroom since 1986.”
