This dilemma...

There are many aspects of running a successful print operation that impact the environment through the release of carbon into the atmosphere; the power it takes to run a printing press and the plant, the production of the paper and ink itself, and even the emissions released from cars that employees drive to their jobs at print facilities. Carbon Neutral Print Productions (CNPP) mediates all of these print related emissions through the purchase of carbon offsets. “Like many printers, we are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI), and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC),” said Jon Troen, CEO of Colorfx, a CNPP member,
