Environmental Awareness!
Posted on June 21, 2009 by webmaster
I recently heard about this new typeface, which saves on print costs as it uses less toner/ink coverage.
Why not give it a try, it’s free - http://www.ecofont.eu
Also consider these other environmentally friendly tips;
- Reduce print waste, only print what you need – Think before you print!
- Design without bleeds reduces paper wastage, and will save money!
- Consider using lighter weight paper stocks for your print jobs, and don’t dismiss using recycled stocks, the different ranges of stocks have grown over the years and there is really a good choice out there now, and some of the finishes are great too!!
- Can you avoid laminating, foil blocking, and using metallic inks!
- Consider saddle stitching instead of wiro-bound or perfect bound, as these are difficult to recycle!
- Avoid using window envelopes as these are often not recycled.
