Easy Printing Green
Printing is an obviously apparent part of what can cause environmental concerns. Doing the right thing environmentally and then advertising it establishes the integrity and sincerity of your goals. We are here to help.
Let us help you choose a paper that is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, 100 percent post-consumer waste (PCW), processed chlorine free (PCF), uncoated, and possibly made by renewable energy source. We print with soy inks instead of petroleum-based inks. This alternative is both low in VOCs and is competitively priced.
We currently print with soy ink, a kind of ink made from soybeans. As opposed to traditional petroleum-based ink, soy-based ink is more environmentally friendly, is available in brighter colors, and makes it easier to recycle paper. It is slower to dry than many inks.
The biggest deterrent to printing green is often lack of information. We can help you determine what types of papers, inks, and coatings can give you the quality you want and stay within your budget. Many factors that contribute to a printed piece's price – including the size of the project, the press you use, and even the time of year – it's important to work with us to find the best solution for your budget.
Digital printing, another area of our expertise, avoids the film and chemicals in traditional printing processes providing another eco-friendly alternative.
