Print Services

Green office supplies are only the first step. Why not make your business collateral green too. EcoGreenOffice offers a wide range of printing services including business cards, brochures, newsletters, letterhead and mass mailings to name a few. It’s simple, tell us your needs, attach the design and submit. We will provide a custom “eco-friendly” bid for your project.

What makes our printing green? We are proud of our two eco-friendly processes:

We Use A Xerox IGen:

The highlights of printing with a digital press, especially the iGen are as follows:

Digital Printing, often called Print On Demand, reduces paper waste by only printing what is needed for a specific application. Since the press comes up to color on the first sheet, there are no make-readies involved thereby reducing paper and consumable waste. Dry inks are non-toxic and have closed containers with a transfer efficiency rate of near 100%. De-Inking is the process of removing the printing ink from the paper so that it can be recycled. The iGen3 passed the INGEDE (International Association of the De-inking Industry) standards test with flying colors. This means recycled printed paper off the iGen can be recycled into printable paper again. This is something that the HP Indigo’s can not claim as their paper must be repurposed since the ink does not come off the sheet for recycling as printable paper. The iGen3 emits 80% less noise than a typical offset press, no generation or use of alcohols, chlorinated solvents, acids, and flammable materials. More than 80% of the waste generated by the iGen can be returned, reused, or recycled and 97% of the components of the iGen are recyclable or re-manufacturable. The iGen is able to print on a wide array of recycled and FSC certified papers.

We Use A Heidelberg DI Offset Press:

We print with a press called The Heidelberg DI. It is a direct to plate waterless offset printing press that is one of the most environmentally friendly offset print processes in the world. Waterless printing not only saves on water conservation but since the DI does not use water, there are no chemically tainted waste water disposal concerns. Plates for the DI are imaged right on the press using a thermal process which uses no chemicals. All four plates are imaged simultaneously so registration is perfect and make ready is less than 100 sheets making paper waste savings dramatic. After the print run is completed all plate material is recycled back to the manufacturer for re-plating. The reduction of paper waste is significant when you consider that one tree is equivalent to only 236 11” x 17” brochures printed on 100# cover stock. The DI’s waterless press design eliminates what is usually the largest portion of a printer’s VOC output, solvent based press washes and blanket wash solutions. These benefits coupled with the thermal plate imaging reduce the VOC output by up to 90%. We print with Soy-based inks, and can print virtually any recycled stock. We can buy any FSC or SFI certified paper from certified paper warehouses. All Paper waste is recycled and the proceeds from that process are donated to the “Young Printers Scholarship Fund”.
