Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

Rule 67.16 controls VOC emissions from continuous web and single sheet printing, processing

, laminating and

drying operations . The amended rule reduce s t he VOC content limit of adhesives and fountain solutions

. The

VOC con tent limit for equipment cleaning solvents is also decreased f ro m 200 to 100 grams/liter , or alternatively a

facility may use a cleaning material with a VOC vapor pressure not higher than 5 mm Hg at 20C. In addition,

the amended rule exempts digital printing operations from VOC emission limitations. However, the facilities

using digital printing te ch nology on a commercial scale are required to keep monthly or daily usage records of

VOC containing inks and cleaning solvents. Information obtained a s a result of this provision will allow the District

to evaluate the magnitude of the VOC emissions from digital printing operations

the updated test methods for determining the VOC content of graphic arts and cleaning materi als

, and the overall

efficiency of emission control systems. T he amendments also provide new and updated definitions, including

those for digital printing operations.
