GREEN BOOK

We are excited to introduce our new GREEN BOOK technology, setting new standards in book production by combining the highest product quality with care for the environment. This is our response to the growing expectations of readers and publishers increasingly seeking planet-friendly products.

GREEN BOOK is an eco-friendly solution offering numerous tangible benefits to Totem’s clients. The key features of this technology include:

1. Top-quality printing: 1200 dpi resolution ensures sharp and vivid reproduction of text and graphics.

2. Eco-friendly materials: production utilizes FSC-certified papers and recycled materials, including our specially optimized Totem Velvet Ivory wood-based paper with a pleasant cream tone, perfect for digital printing.

3. CO2 impact neutralization: innovative printing systems reduce carbon footprints. Additionally, using ClimateCalc calculations, we can precisely measure the carbon dioxide emissions of a specific book’s production and neutralize its environmental impact through carbon credit purchases from certified suppliers. These books can then proudly display the “CO2 neutralized” logo.

4. Short turnaround times.

5. Flexible Print Runs: ranging from a few hundred to several thousand copies.

6. Competitive pricing: optimized production processes translate into attractive prices, especially for small and medium print runs.

At the heart of GREEN BOOK are the latest-generation TruePress Jet520HD Mono systems from the Japanese company Screen, using SU inks. Totem is the first printing house in Europe to install these systems. Key features of this advanced technology include:

1. Innovative high-density Screen SU inks: designed for uncoated papers, they provide deep blacks without bleed-through, crucial for book texts.

2. High print resolution (1200 dpi): ensuring sharp fonts and precise image reproduction.

3. Near-infrared (NIR) drying module: efficient drying with low energy consumption, eliminating paper curling issues.

4. Real-time quality control: detecting and correcting print defects such as missing jets during production.

To fully grasp the revolutionary nature of GREEN BOOK, here’s a comparison with traditional offset printing:

1. Waste reduction: GREEN BOOK eliminates the need for printing plates, thus avoiding the waste associated with their production and disposal.

2. Eco-friendly inks: utilizes water-based inks, unlike offset printing, which relies on inks and dampening solutions containing harmful substances.

3. Lower CO2 emissions: optimized production significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to the high CO2 emissions generated by offset printing preparation and operation.

4. Water conservation: digital printing with Screen TruePress systems requires almost no water, in contrast to the large amounts required for offset printing processes.

5. Minimized raw material usage: precise process control eliminates start-up waste and excess production, unlike offset printing, which generates significant paper waste during machine start-up and color calibration.

6. Energy efficiency: modern TruePress systems consume less energy compared to energy-intensive offset machines.
