Our Green Initiative
Printing Arts is committed to providing innovative, environmentally friendly green printing solutions.
Our FSC Chain of Custody Certification allows us to support responsible environmental practices by offering marketing materials to our customers that are printed on paper originated from an FSC certified forest. FSC Certified paper has been harvested from forests that meet stringent environmental, social and economic standards.
Becoming an FSC Certified printer is just one of the many steps Printing Arts has taken toward environmentally conscientious printing.

- Utilization of filtered water to minimize number of changes and flushes required to maintain equipment
- Utilization of tube ink (instead of canned ink) to minimize ink loss from oxidation
