We all know that printing can have negative effects on our environment, but printed material is an essential part of the communications process.

Fortunately there are many things that we all can do to minimise the impact printing has on the environment.

It is a common misconception that printing on recycled paper alone means you’ve done all you can for the environment. This is only part of the picture. The whole manufacturing process should be considered.

There are many elements and techniques that make up the printing process. It’s not easy to be aware of all the choices and initiatives that can be undertaken to create an environmentally responsible print job.

Greenprint® initiative

The Greenprint® initiative consists of a ten step process that you and your printer can adopt in the production of your print job. By following the ten steps you will get outstanding print results, while at the same time helping our environment.
