DAS STUDIO uses 100% Water Power generated energy
That is the second direct impact on how DAS STUDIO uses it´s resources after we changed all office papers to FSC certified materials. We are now investing all money for energy directly into a hydro-electric power plant in Norway. The power plant is certified by the TÜV standard body and the process is structured according to the RECS-Renewable Energy Certificate System and supervised by the NGO Öko-Institut e.V. accordingly.

DAS STUDIO Torsten Hegner GmbH has, for the first time for 2010, calculated its carbon footprint with the climate protection specialists at ClimatePartner which is certified by the German Technical Inspection Authority (TÜV). ClimatePartner calculated the carbon footprint in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This took not only the standard criteria into consideration but also the materials needed for proofs and the print proof for the carbon footprint.
This creates the basis for the systematic reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions as well as for general environmental protection measures.
Besides, for example, the extensive use of FSC certified paper within our company (the target for 2011 is 100%), we are also working on direct measures to improve our eco balance.
We are also helping our customers to reduce their CO2 emissions.
Examples of how to intelligently save color and water in printing, besides Soft Proof, Remote Proof and efficient Work Flow Management, include our Color Management expertise and the awarded Brand Colors 7.0© solution. We can also help you with climate neutral printing and low migration inks – contact us!
Several DAS STUDIO employees are also supporting environment protection with sheer muscle power and are, for example, involved in the “Cycle to Work” campaign. Further information including on how your company can take part on:
CO2 emissions which cannot be currently reduced further are offset with the purchase of emissions certificates.
With this, DAS STUDIO Torsten Hegner GmbH is now able to describe itself as a “climate neutral” company.
By purchasing the certificates we are supporting the following projects:

(more ...)DAS STUDIO - Is the winner of the 2008 Innovation Award
DAS STUDIO Torsten Hegner GmbH won the Innovation Award of the German Printing Industry 2008 with their Brand Colors 7.0 System
(more ...)DAS STUDIO Torsten Hegner GmbH won the Innovation Award of the German Printing Industry 2008 with their Brand Colors 7.0 System.
The advantages of the Brand Colors 7.0© System:
1.Inks
Spot colors are usually ordered in lower quantities, which mean higher pricing and lower color consistency. Consolidating the inks to the ECG set, this improves pricing and quality.
2. Setup
The setup time of a printing machine can be significantly reduced, if you have a standard set of inks in the print stations, which are able to build up all the colors you want. In this case, there is no need for an ink wash-out anymore. By saving setup time, the capacity of the printing machine is increased, too.
3. Combination
Combination runs are possible, where different SKUs with very different colors are printed on one sheet. This can’t be done without ECG, unless the used machine offers a high number of printing stations. In offset printing, Combination runs are perfectly feasible as long as different SKUs do not mix in machine direction.
