Ultrachem - Prepress & Pressroom Supplies

Adrian Press enhances Eco awareness with Ultrachem

Adrian Press has enlisted the services of Ultrachem to provide its waste removal service. This will ensure that the Ilford design and commercial printer complies with all environmental legislation concerning hazardous and special wastes.

The formation of this partnership with Ultrachem is the next step in Adrian Press's plan to keep ahead of developments in environmental legislation. This has been preceded by consultations with Ultrachem regarding efficient chemical and ink storage procedures and overall environmental awareness, such as the implementation of a label system for hazardous chemicals.

The waste removal service will see that 205 litre containers are used for the removal of prepress chemical waste such as developers and fixers. Ultrachem will also provide specialised containers for the removal of ink tins, and ensure that the correct documentation is in place.

Adrian Filek, managing director of Adrian Press, says: "Ultrachem has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable in helping us to implement the correct storage and disposal procedures, which sometimes go beyond those necessary for compliance with regulations. I like to ensure that we are doing the most we can to uphold our Eco friendly responsibilities."

Adrian Press has recently extended its contract with Ultrachem to a three-year consumables deal, supplying plates, inks, chemicals and film. The consumables contract will fund the supply and installation by Ultrachem of a printing down frame and plate processor.

Mr Filek says: "We have been using Ultrachem for prepress & pressroom consumables for years but recently decided to switch all our business to them because of their service and enthusiasm. They are always helpful and there when you need them. Their promises are honest and always backed up by the appropriate service."

With Ultrachem being the supplier of both consumables and the waste disposal service, the single point of contact allows for advantages in service and efficiency in both time and money.

In its 12,000sq ft premises, Adrian Press has comprehensive studio and press room facilities including a letterpress department for cutting and creasing.
