LexJet Replay: The Top Five Products and Programs of 2021

2021 was an exciting year because of new printers introduced to the market, and some of our popular programs returned while we launched new ones. Read on to find out about LexJet’s top five products and programs of the year.

brandUP is Back – After a nearly two-year hiatus, brandUP was back in 2021. When Pepe Manzanares was looking to open his butcher shop just outside of Tampa, he came to LexJet to help him create the perfect atmosphere for the high-end Prime Butcher Shoppe.

The team at LexJet used a variety of HP Adhesive Vinyl products and other media suitable for indoor and outdoor signage to help Manzanares achieve the shop’s signature look.

We look forward to getting back in the community in 2022 to bring you more brandUP features. Learn More

Elements Canvas Portfolio – One of the newest brands available from LexJet is Elements, an additional option for high-end products that helps our clients keep their costs low and increase profitability.

The first three Elements Collections available are:

  • Gemstone Collection – Brilliant Quality
  • Quarry Collection – Rock Solid Performance
  • Boundless Collection – Art without Limits

Ink Cartridge Recycling – Over 375-million ink cartridges end up in landfills every year. LexJet is taking steps to reverse that trend. This year, we introduced our ink recycling program. Collect your cartridges; once you get 20 lbs., fill out the form and send them in. Easy as 1-2-3! Learn More

The LexJet Experience – In 2021, we wanted to create a unique online environment for our customers, and we did just that with The LexJet Experience. We teamed up with over three dozen partners to bring you the products and information you want in an experience you won’t believe.

An immersive virtual space, The LexJet Experience allows you to get up close and personal with new technology and new products and hear from some of the experts in the industry.

No suits, no shoes, no problem because The LexJet Experience is always open and easy to access from your home or office. Learn More

Join Us as LexJet Celebrates America Recycles Day

Today is the 24th anniversary of America Recycles Day (aka National Recycling Day). While recycling has been around since Victorian England – if not longer – it wasn’t until Nov. 15, 1997, that the official holiday was created.

According to the EPA, recycling efforts have increased from 6% in 1960 to 32% as recently as 2018. So, the process is working, but there’s still a long way to go.

While recycling has increased over the years, ink cartridges are still tossed in the trash, destined to end up in landfills across the country. 375-million ink cartridges per year are thrown away rather than recycled. That’s 1,000,000 a day; 11 cartridges per second1.

To help combat the staggering statistics, LexJet made a small gesture, hoping to spark a big change: the Inkjet Recycling Program.

Participating in the program, introduced earlier this year on Earth Day, is as easy as 1-2-3, once you have your box of OEM cartridges (20 lb. minimum):

1) Fill out the information
2) Download the prepaid labels
3) Schedule a UPS pick-up

Arrangements can be made for pallet shipping if you have more than 100 cartridges.

All OEM brands and sizes are accepted, from wide format to desktop. At this time, we cannot take toner tubes, toner bottles, or generic cartridges.

In addition to encouraging recycling, LexJet offers products manufactured with recycled materials. Elements Andes Recycled Satin Canvas SUV has a polyester resin made 100% from recycled water bottles.

If you would like to learn more about LexJet’s sustainable initiatives, as well as those of the other S-One Holdings Corporation subsidiaries, check out our Eco-Solutions booth at The LexJet Experience.

LexJet Reviews: Sustainable Programs and Products

Just in time for Earth Day, C.J. Forker returns for a new edition of LexJet Reviews focusing on sustainable products and programs. From media with special certifications to recycling programs, these options will help you start seeing green.

Media Solutions:

LexJet Print-n-Stick Fabric – A popular choice for those DIY projects to high-end wall décor, this low-tack, self-adhesive fabric is not only PVC-free, but also free of other harmful chemicals which means fewer emissions, less harmful waste, and a better solution for the environment.

ChromaLuxe – Proudly made in America, nearly every part of the ChromaLuxe manufacturing process – from the factory itself to the coating; from the fiberboard to the panels – is considered sustainable. The company also has a commitment to recycling, which means less waste and fewer harmful emissions.

HP PVC-free Durable Smooth and Durable Suede Wall Papers – These wallcoverings are popular for designers looking to create colorful murals while capturing high-definition details. Because both are UL Greenguard Gold certified – they produce much lower levels of emissions – they are safe for sensitive environments like hospitals and schools. Additionally, HP PVC-Free Durable Smooth Wallpaper is FSC-certified, which means it is responsibly harvested timber that is selectively cut, rather than from industrialists who clear-cut forests.

HP 15-oz Prime Double-sided Blockout Banner and 18-oz Prime Double-sided Pole Banner – The perfect solutions for long-lasting indoor displays or applications that will be displayed in demanding outdoor conditions are these two newest banners available from LexJet. These durable banners offer an opaque blockout layer for double-sided printing. Both are REACH and Prop 65 compliant, which means there are no harmful emissions.

Sustainable Programs:

LexJet Ink Cartridge Recycling – The new ink cartridge recycling program is easy. Simply go to the resource page and fill out the information. Download the prepaid shipping labels and schedule a UPS pickup. It’s as simple as that. All OEM brands and sizes are accepted, from wide format to desktop. Right now, we are not accepting toner tubes, toner bottles, or generic cartridges New research shows 375-million ink cartridges are thrown away every year and this new program gives customers an alternative so the cartridges don’t end up in a landfill.

HP Take-back Program – This long-running program aims to cut down on waste and put those raw materials to good use. Since 1987, when the program began, HP has recovered over 2.3 billion pounds. To read more about HP’s sustainable impact, you can see a full report HERE.

1) Fill out the information
2) Download the prepaid labels
3) Schedule a UPS pick-up

Arrangements can be made for pallet shipping if you have more than 100 cartridges.
