"Printing Responsibly"

Many of you know about the brochures that we are having printed to take to the community for feedback. I really want to make sure I find a printer that will print to recycled paper and with non-toxic ink. I was reading over at VigilanteWeblog yesterday and came across this post about responsible printing. I want to take a moment to advocate for the use of environmentally friendly printing for your business printing needs. Most of the marketing collateral that is produced is done so on non-recyclable paper and using inks that are toxic (not only to the earth but to the printers as well). Its an easy decision to gloss over or let someone else make the decision. It may initially cost a little bit more than conventional printing, but in the long run it will end up costing more to our earth. Please, at least just ask and see what the cost difference would be, and then make your decision. There is also a link to Printing Responsibly.com which I have not heard of before. We empower businesses through education and project management. We help businesses stay within budget, preserve design and communication goals, and still print responsibly. We also help businesses develop strategies for communicating their responsible stance to stakeholders. This is going to prove very important to me as we go forward with Cafe Evoke because we need to be printing on earth friendly materials. ...be bold Tagged: environment, printing, green, Cafe Evoke
