The Pond We Swim In

For centuries, the printing industry has been a vital contributor to our world by facilitating the free flow of information, education, and communication. There was a downside though, as its impact on the environment became more clearly understood. With the advent of new technologies and research, we've learned that with a little effort, printing in a way that is environmentally responsible is well within our reach.

DCI believes in the importance of education to eliminate ignorance and create positive behaviors. That's why Digital Color Imaging has partnered with suppliers and clients such as the National Museum of Education to join together in an effort to break bad habits and to create a more sustainable world, while leaving a smaller environmental footprint.

Chances are, some of the marketing materials you're using to generate awareness are causing harm to the environment. If your print vendor employs traditional methods to produce them - using virgin-fiber paper, petroleum-based inks, toxic solvents, and chlorine-bleached papers - your print campaign might be damaging the environment every time you reach out to your target audience. DCI is dedicated to delivering top-notch quality while helping your organization and ours keep to a green agenda.

By printing green, you are sending a powerful reminder to your audience that you care about what's to come. Noting that you use an eco-friendly printer can motivate others to do the same. For when other organizations see how good your piece looks, they might be inspired to go green, too.

Using recycled papers and soy inks is only part of the story: our ongoing commitment to sustainability extends into every facet of our operations. In fact, we strive for the day when we could actually eat our printed words - literally.
