Defining Your Sustainability Strategy

LexJet understands our customers’ desire to offer eco-friendly business solutions and products for environmentally conscious consumers. As buyers become more aware of their daily impact on the environment, aspirations of becoming more environmentally conscious may shape their purchasing decisions, leading to searches for affordable, sustainable, and quality products. Having a sustainability strategy is an excellent step in the right direction for your business.

“50% of consumers rank sustainability as a top five value driver on average across categories, which means it is an important purchase criteria and is a key differentiator in the overall value proposition.” Global Sustainability Study 2021, Simon-Kucher & Partners

Environmentally Conscious Products

We provide multiple ways to help you become an eco-friendlier business, making it easy and hassle-free to recycle your empty ink and toner cartridges with our Ink Recycling Program. Since the launch of this program in 2021, we have received over 2 tons of cartridges for recycling.

LexJet also offers more sustainable media options, like a recycled canvas product made from 100% recycled water bottles under the Elements brand. Additionally, we carry photo papers, banner materials, fabrics, and films that can be recycled into various products.

Sustainability is also a priority for our other brands like HP, named by Newsweek as one of the 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World for the 7th year in a row. Another brand walking the walk is Kodak. In its 2021 Sustainability Report, One World One, Kodak announced a 55% increase in solvent recovery business (2016-2021).

Earth Day is a wonderful time to remind us of the crucial role we all play in reducing our carbon footprint. Becoming more environmentally conscious and understanding the demands of eco-friendly consumers may significantly impact your business’s profitability now and in the future.

Get a Darkroom Look with Sunset Fibre Elite

Most photographers today love the idea of creating the perfect image on an inkjet printer but miss the look and feel of images brought to life in the darkrooms of the past.

Some photographers may not know that they can have the best of both worlds with Sunset Fibre Elite 285g. You get the beautiful reminiscent of hours developing film, but without the worry of just the slightest bit of light ruining your perfect capture.

Sunset Fibre Elite 285g is a fiber-based paper with an extra smooth and glossy look designed for color and black-and-white photo reproductions of the highest caliber.

Dennis Hammon PhotographyProfessional photographer and PPA affiliate juror Dennis Hammon spent 35-years working in dark rooms. He loves the look and feel of Sunset Fibre Elite. “I’ve always had a darkroom, and the Fibre Elite mimics some of the papers I used way back when; that’s why I’m drawn to it,” he says. “The feel, the texture, the luster of it and how it holds the tooth of the image for me. We have other papers, but that’s the only thing I put my work on.”

Sunset Fibre Elite delivers the wide color gamut required for fine-art photography, photo restoration work, and more.

Dennis Hammon PhotographyHammon, who works closely with his wife, Cheri – also a professional photographer – says it’s what sets his images apart from others. “We’re selling a lot of the fine art, and the Fibre Elite is the look I want. It’s different from everybody else’s images they’re trying to sell. We’re trying to set ourselves apart with the quality and look of the paper.”
