In many cases printed material is the best way to provide information, generate sales interest or prompt action. Here are some practical tips to make your print greener. Start slowly: each of these tips is a step in the right direction.
Tip 1
Keep the environment in mind from the design stage. Choose a final size that makes the most efficient use of standard paper sizes. Using less ink often saves time, paper and money. Involve designers and printers early in the process.
Tip 2
Print on recycled paper containing at least 30% post-consumer waste.
Tip 3
Reduce the number of printed pages in handouts, event materials and manuals. Put 3, 4 or even 6 slides on a page. Reduce indents and paragraph spacing. Use the smallest legible font size: 10 pt generally works for Arial or Helvetica, 11 pt for Times New Roman. Print handouts and books double-sided.
Tip 4
Deliver your print files electronically, via FTP or email.
Tip 5
Print only what you need.
