This is about the "Bay Area Air Quality Control Board" (San Francisco, CA area). There is talk that new regulations will be in effect starting Jan 2009 requiring printshops in the bay area to reduce their voc's. Then in Jan 2010 the voc's allowed will be reduced again. This new lower voc rule is already in effect in the greater Los Angeles area so we (in the bay area) can benefit from this.
The major solvent manufacturers have already made press washes that will enable you to meet the new requirements. Like all of the Eco friendly solvents of the past there will be (and has to be) some trade offs....that being: now the press person will have to apply a little more "elbow grease" to help the solvents work AND they will have to come back over the blanket and rollers with clean water to flush out the residual chemicals left behind.The new lower voc washes work very well and are ready to go right now. As long as every one realizes the few trade offs involved it will be a painless transistion.
