Explanation:
This seems to be the most common translation. Eco safe exists, but is nearly never used in a printing context.

agree  Philippa Smith: Or "environmentally friendly". It looks like it can be applied to MFPs, tho' most hits are about a Toshiba product.

neutral  Daryo: I don't see any need for using "statistical" methods when this particular ST is clearly about about "security" / being safe for the environment

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Ditto Phil. Then : "made environmentally friendly" would perhaps be a more accurate rendering of the notion of "sécurisé. When push comes to shove, I reckon that plain ol' "environmentally friendly" does the trick and means the Asker can move on.

Explanation:
made safe for the environment - not polluting the environment with various chemicals used for printing.

strictly speaking it's not a method of printing, it's an attribute/characteristic of a method of printing - meaning that the specific method of printing is "safe for the environment"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Daryo, Thanks for the explanation, but at client's recommendation, I am using the word eco-friendly.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: It is tied in to the method though. In the case of the MPFs which are not "éco-sécurisés", other methods are to be used. If made safe for the environment, altho' I note your refs, the usual term for what you dsecribe wld be "environmentally friendly".

  -> yes, some printing methods are "safe for the environment" some are not - IOW it's an adjective qualifying the noun "printing method XYZ" and by association the hardware used; we are saying the same thing, slightly differently worded.
