Sustainability in commercial printing: Eco-friendly print practices

In the modern, environmentally conscious business landscape, sustainability has become a pivotal consideration across European industries. The commercial printing sector, traditionally associated with high energy consumption and paper and plastic waste, is undergoing a transformative shift towards more sustainable practices.

Kyocera is at the forefront of this evolution, championing an eco-friendly commercial printing solution that aligns with both environmental goals and business efficiency.​ The TASKalfa Pro 15000c is designed to use less energy, reduce waste, and work with environmental inks, ensuring high-quality results that do not compromise the planet.

Kyocera's commitment to eco-friendly printing

The Kyocera approach to sustainable printing is reflected in our product
development and corporate philosophy. By employing long-life components, energy-efficient technology, and waste reduction strategies, we minimise the environmental impact of our products. This commitment is evident in our innovative inkjet technologies, and it is one reason Kyocera became one of the most sustainable companies in the world in 2024.

The TASKalfa Pro 15000c: A greener choice

One of the gems in our sustainable printing portfolio is the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, a high-speed inkjet production printer. With diverse applications and sustainability benefits all in a compact design, the Pro has a small footprint and big potential. It is designed to use less energy and generate less waste while maintaining high levels of productivity.

Lower energy consumption

Unlike toner engines that rely on heat-intensive fusing processes, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c uses water-based pigment inks. This significantly reduces energy usage during operation. Moreover, its few moving parts reduce demand for excess power. The device runs on low voltage and enters energy-saving sleep mode quickly, helping customers cut both emissions and electricity costs.

Minimised waste

The TASKalfa Pro 15000c is engineered to reduce waste at every stage. Its long-life components and highly efficient ink usage mean fewer consumable replacements and less downtime. The device delivers accurate, high-quality prints every time, so businesses can avoid costly reprints and overproduction. Fewer parts going to the landfill and more uptime for customers means time and resources are maximised and waste is kept to a minimum. 

Environmentally friendly inks

Our proprietary water-based pigment inks are designed to be safe for users and the environment. Free from hazardous substances, they support a healthier print environment. Our inks also dry quickly, facilitating fast, clean output with excellent print quality, ideal for busy production environments. 

Global sustainability goals

At Kyocera, we take our role in the global sustainability movement seriously. Our eco-friendly print solutions support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those relating to responsible production and climate action. Whether through reduced energy usage or safer materials, we aim to empower businesses to meet their sustainability objectives without sacrificing performance.

In a busy production printing market, why choose Kyocera inkjet?

It is our pioneering spirit, commitment to the environment, and philosophy of love and respect that sets us apart.
