Green Printing

    Deerfield and Co also offers "green" printing on hemp or organic cotton with QuantumOne. QuantumOne is non-phthalate, non-PVC Plastisol screen printing ink, specially formulated by Wilflex USA with the same high quality and print application standards that you would expect from the MX series inks. We recognize our responsibility to the environment and as good citizens and responsible business owners, we are doing our part to limit the negative affects of our business on the environment. Our eco-friendly printing options limit the hazardous chemicals that contribute to air and water pollution. It is an unavoidable fact of our business that some products are going to be harmful, but we are doing our socially and environmentally responsible part to provide other options.

   Organic cotton is grown using methods that have a low impact on the environment. Using such methods protects the health of people and the planet by reducing the overall exposure to toxic chemicals from synthetic pesticides that can end up in the ground, air, water and food supply, and that are associated with health consequences, from asthma to cancer. Cotton is the most pesticide-dependent crop in the world, accounting for 25% of all pesticide use, that is 50 million pounds of pesticides in the U.S. alone. Because organic agriculture doesn't use toxic and persistent pesticides, choosing organic products is an easy way to help protect yourself and the environment.

   Hemp is the worlds strongest natural fiber. It has been used to make cloth and rope for over 10,000 years. Hemp is stronger, longer lasting, more resistant to mildew and cheaper to produce than cloth made of cotton. With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, also requiring far less pesticides and water than cotton.

   Choosing our green printing options is one way that our clients can contribute to helping fight our present environmental crisis.

   Organic and Hemp apparel comes in a variety of colors and sizes. The options of apparel range from infant and youth clothing to tote bags, hats, polos and adult tee shirts. Feel free to give us a call and we can walk you through your eco-friendly green screen printing needs.
