Our T-shirts printers are powered by green energy

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking step toward sustainability with the completion of our 150,8 kWp peak output solar plant. Strategically positioned atop our Print-on-demand printing factory in Teplice, Czech Republic, this solar initiative, operational since November 27, 2023, is a testament to our commitment to eco-friendly practices, energy conservation, and a reduced carbon footprint.

The installation of over 377 solar panels not only contributes significantly to our electric energy consumption but also aids in cooling our facility. This proactive cooling approach reduces our energy requirements during the peak season from April to the end of Summer. We take pride in powering a substantial portion of our factory's operations with clean and renewable energy sources, marking a positive stride towards environmental responsibility.

Our eco-friendly approach extends beyond environmental benefits; it plays a pivotal role in the economic sustainability of our business. By relying on clean energy sources, we not only cut costs in the long run but also insulate ourselves from the volatility of traditional energy prices.

In essence, our 150,8 kWp solar plant is more than a power source; it symbolizes our unwavering commitment to building a future where businesses flourish in harmony with the environment, ensuring a sustainable and greener tomorrow for generations to come.

Technical Specifications:

• Number of panels: 377 units

Water based inks by MagnaColours® for our screenprinting

When it comes to screen printing, the choice of ink plays a crucial role in determining the final product's quality, feel, and environmental impact. Water-based inks by MagnaColours® have emerged as a superior alternative to traditional plastisol inks, offering numerous benefits that make them the preferred choice for modern screen printers.

Advantages of water-based inks

• Better for the environment
• Print is thinner/softer than plastisol inks and provide luxury feel
• More breathable 
• Inks soak into the fabric and become a part of the garment instead of sitting on top
• Suitable for creating a "vintage look." if needed
• It doesn't crack, peel, or flake off with long wear
  

Disadvantages of water-based inks

• Influenced by the color of the shirt, making prints on dark garments requires use of white color underlayer
• More complicated and time-consuming to work with
• More expensive than plastisol inks

Valadio prefference is water based inks​

We exclusively use water-based and discharge inks, steering clear of plastisol inks. This choice allows us to create prints that are softer, more breathable, and more durable. The result is a superior t-shirt that people will love to wear again and again.
