Today’s conscientious printer quickly dispels any myths about print communication’s role in environmental misuse. Many “green” practices can be incorporated into everyone’s daily work routines, whatever the industry.

Here are a few ideas for around your office:

1. RECYCLE

• Identify all of the material that is potentially recyclable. Then, target the highest volume of materials that would be the easiest to separate.



• Create incentives for employees. Having an active role in a recycling program that grows, reaches goals and creates benefits will motivate employees to participate.

2. REDUCE

• Use local suppliers and carpool to limit vehicle emissions.
• Rely on technology for information storage.
• Use recycled or reusable materials when possible (coffee mug vs. Styrofoam cup).

3. ENERGY EFFICIENCIES

• Turn all switches to “off” when not in use and set temperatures back.
• Pay special attention to conference rooms, basements, restrooms, walk-in coolers and storage areas.
• Replace incandescent bulbs with compact florescent bulbs.

THE NEED FOR SPEED

For all businesses, time is money. Technological advancements have made it easier, faster and cheaper to get your hands on a high-quality printed product. The source: digital printing. In contrast to traditional offset printing which uses a press to lay ink on paper, digital printing is like an extremely high-quality color copier.

Digital goes directly from the computer to the printer and takes just minutes. Because it does not require film, plates and other pre-press preparations of offset printing, the time and cost savings is significant.

DESIGNED TO SAVE

Also, make it a time- and money-saving habit to complete your revisions before you turn over your layout or digital files.
