Prisma’s Integration of KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates
At Prisma, environmental sustainability drives our operational excellence. We’re excited to announce a significant advancement in our eco-conscious printing capabilities: the implementation of KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates in our offset printing operations. This cutting-edge technology represents a transformative approach to commercial printing, eliminating traditional chemical processing while enhancing production efficiency.
Quantifiable Environmental Impact
Through our participation in KODAK’s Green Leaf Program, Prisma contributes to remarkable industry-wide environmental achievements:
- Energy Conservation: Reduction of 37 million kilowatt hours annually, equivalent to powering approximately 3,400 homes for one year
- Water Preservation: Conservation of 555 million liters of water yearly, comparable to 222 Olympic-sized swimming pools
- Chemical Elimination: Decrease of 3.7 million liters of plate developer annually, significantly reducing harmful chemical waste
Advanced Technical Innovation
The SONORA Process Free Plates leverage sophisticated engineering that revolutionizes the traditional platemaking process. These innovative plates transition directly from imaging to press-ready status, bypassing conventional chemical processing entirely. The plates are manufactured from premium-grade aluminum, ensuring exceptional print quality and consistency while being fully recyclable, just like aluminum cans.
Strategic Sustainability Framework
Prisma’s implementation of the SONORA plates complements our broader environmental initiatives:
- FSC® Certification Excellence: Our Forest Stewardship Council® certification ensures responsible forest management practices throughout our paper supply chain
- Advanced UV Ink Technology: State-of-the-art UV ink systems deliver superior print quality while reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Robust Materials Recovery: Annual recycling of 2,062 tons of paper and 185 tons of cardboard demonstrates our commitment to circular economy principles
