Sustainable Impact: More Than a Mission, A Business Imperative

Today’s consumption patterns demand urgent action—at current rates, we’d need the resources of 1.7 Earths to sustain global demand. Over the past 50 years, the world has seen a 68% decline in global wildlife populations. Sustainability is no longer optional—it’s a strategic business advantage.

At Big Systems, we’ve aligned our operations with HP’s Sustainable Impact platform to improve environmental performance, empower employees, and help customers win more business through responsible printing. Together with HP, we’re advancing sustainability across our supply chain and customer ecosystem.

Sustainability Built Into Every Print

We believe your print process should be safe, sustainable, and smart, without sacrificing quality.

Water-Based HP Latex Inks

HP Latex Inks are made with up to 65% water, offering a safer, more sustainable alternative to solvent or UV-based inks. They contain no hazardous air pollutants or reactive monomers, helping reduce ozone generation and VOC exposure in your workspace.

No Special Ventilation Required

HP Latex Inks are designed to operate safely without the need for special ventilation systems. This simplifies installation and makes them ideal for indoor environments like schools, offices, and healthcare settings.

No Hazardous Chemical Compounds

Unlike UV and gel inks, HP Latex Inks are free from acrylate monomers and photo-initiators. This reduces chemical exposure for operators and helps maintain healthier indoor air quality.

Helping You Lead With Sustainability

We equip you to meet the evolving expectations of environmentally conscious clients and industries.
