Positive Images

At Positive Images UK we pride ourselves on understanding the multiple and varied issues surrounding the environment, and the effect the printing process and its related operations have on it.

Eliminating developer fluid means that one of the main things affecting image consistency is no longer part of the process. Cleaning out the processing machinery and disposing of old developer fluid is a thing of the past. In fact all that old machinery is a thing of the past. These are huge benefits to us as an environmentally aware business, who are consistently looking to simplify and improve our working processes.

Being chemistry-free in this area makes us feel good about what we do.

What is FSC?
The Forest Stewardship Council is an international organisation promoting responsible forest management. FSC has developed principles for forest management of forest holdings, and a system of tracing, verifying and labelling timber and wood products, which originate from FSC-certified forests. FSC has the support of many environmental groups.

What is PEFC?
PEFC stands for the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes and is an international, non-profit organisation that is primarily made up of representatives of the forest products industry. Unlike the FSC, it does not set specific standards but is an umbrella brand that incorporates different national forest certification schemes (e.g. the national scheme in Finland is endorsed by the PEFC). This is intended to make the forest certification easier and more applicable to different types of forests.
