Mid West Displays will stop using solvent inks in the manufacturer of its core product ranges after 30 April 2019. The move requires major changes to the way the Shrewsbury-based company makes its bestselling LED lightpocket range, up to now screenprinted but as of the end of the month to be digitally printed using water-based inks. The change will reduce the company’s solvent-ink use by 95%.
Clive Towe, who runs MWD, said: “Changing the way we print our frames represents a significant change for the business but we feel it is an effort worth making to support the environment.”
