With the green movement growing, there are now more options to getting those DTP projects printed in a low carbon impact way. One such company providing that option is PsPrint. The PsPrint group is based out of Oakland, California but mainly operates online giving desktop publishers on a global scale an environmentally safe way to get their projects printed up.
The areas that make the PsPrint group green are varied. To begin with, they recycle all of their paper waste and they print on 100% recycled paper stock in the following categories: business cards, greeting cards, panel cards, brochures, sales data sheets, newsletters, booklets, postcards and calendars. They also use soy based inks that produce lower volatile organic compounds than that of petroleum based inks. Lastly, the PsPrint group does have printing offices on both the West and East coasts which cuts down on leaving a larger than average carbon foot print through shipping travel.
A unique feature of using their online printing options is that at the PsPrint web site they have created an in browser desktop publishing tool. The tool comes with a various design templates broken up through thirty-one DTP project sections. Now, you don't have to use their online design tool it is offered as an option for customers. You can create your own DTP project designs and submit them by file when you choose the printing type that you like and you can also let the DTP designers on staff create the look of a project for you.
Printing prices vary per category and for example, PsPrint is currently running a 40% off of business card printing and 60% off of posters printing. Regular pricing for business cards is set at $17.41 for a group of printing of 250 cards.
