Notes: 

Enter percents as whole numbers ('5' for five percent, '50' for 50 percent).

 Control would be by thermal incinerator, vapor combustor, carbon adsorber, etc. If VOC emissions from any of the presses are controlled, indicate "Y".

4

 For each material type, indicate the approximate percent of total usage in presses whose emissions are controlled. Example: if VOC emissions from all heatset inks used in presses are controlled, 

indicate 100%. If 50% of solvents are used in presses whose emissions are controlled, indicate 50%.

2

 95% of the ink VOC content is retained in offset lithographic printing operations using non-heatset inks. Therefore, flash-off is 5%. (U.S. EPA "Control Techniques Guidelines for Offset 

Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing" EPA 453/R-06-002 (10/06))

 EPA realizes that a printing operation may use dozens of different types of inks, varnishes, coatings, fountain solutions, washes and solvents in their operations. For each type of material (inks, 

washes solvents, etc) enter the specifications for each of the materials in use. If you need to add extra rows, insert rows on this page and on the "Printing" tab and copy down from the row above.

Potential To Emit Calculator for Graphic Arts and Printing Operations

7/2/2014

This spreadsheet helps estimate a facility's potential to emit. It is provided for the convenience of the permitted community. Emission factor sources are subject to revision or correction. It is the permittee's responsibility 

to determine their emissions. The permittee should consult with the reviewing authority to determine the appropriateness of this calculator for its source. 

Enter the facility's information below. 

Write the letter "Y" or "N" next to each fuel type to indicate that the facility does or does not burn that type of fuel. 

If you have emergency engines on-site, enter the type of engine, the type of fuel used, and the power rating.

Enter the amounts and types of materials used, their VOC content, their % flash-off, the number of actual hours of operation, and information on controls, if any. 

If you have space heating, enter the fuel type used, and the total heat capacity of the heaters. Include any heaters used for heatset presses here.
