What Does it Entail?
There are a number of ways to "go green": you can use
them all or you can
pick and choose. And, because the methods of making the
materials are more complex, you often receive a higher quality product (Better
paper quality: brighter, more vibrant inks).
Using High Quality Recycled Papers:
Problem: Deforestation
Solution: Recycled Content, Responsible Forest
Management, Alternative Fibers
Problem: Toxic Manufacturing Process
Solution: Recycled Paper
Solution: Chlorine Free Processing
Problem: Overflowing landfills
Solution: Post-Consumer Recycled Content, Recycling-friendly finishing
Environmentally Friendly Inks:
Problem: Bad for the Atmosphere due to Volatile
Organic Compounds(VOCs)
Solution: Soy Based inks using organic compounds
Print On Demand & Digital Printing:
Problem: Printing at intervals leaves you with
excessive amounts of waste
Solution: Print On Demand gives you the exact
amount you need, no waste
Problem: Offset Printing often uses harsh chemicals
and wastes physical material
Solution: Digital Printing uses no wash down
chemicals, and leaves no physical plates.
OK, Sounds Good, But What Does it Cost?
You are going to be surprised at the insignificance of the price difference
for your project. We cant give you specifics until the project has been
specd, but rest
assured your wallet is not going to complain. In actuality, there is really
no reason NOT to run green campaigns.
The ONLY drawback is the soy based inks take 1 more day to dry than regular inks.
