Indigo Ink believes it is time for the printing industry to re-think its approach in how it manufactures printed materials. Although “green printing” is quickly becoming a mainstream buzz word and is supposedly being adopted across the printing industry, true eco-conscious printing is still few and far between. That’s why Indigo Ink has chosen to be a pioneer in the eco-printing frontier.

With the adoption of many new technologies and resources now available, Indigo Ink has taken steps that we believe will revolutionize the way printing is done in our industry.. Here’s how:

	Indigo Ink uses 100% wind power and are on the list of the EPA’s Green Power Partners. http/www.epa.gov/greenpower/partners/index.htm We proudly purchase our “Green Power though www.cleancurrents.com
	We offer and encourage the use of recycled and FSC certified paper.
	We recycle all materials that are eligible to be recycled including all waste paper scraps generated from the printing process (it is worth noting that our presses generate far less waste paper than conventional presses).
	Indigo Ink’s Offset DI press is a waterless system eliminating the need for any toxic chemicals or any high chemical content water waste in the printing processes.
	Our DI Offset Press Uses Vegetable Oil Based Inks
	We use recycled paper for all of our bathroom toiletries and for all of our business needs (where avaialable) and marketing materials. Our facilities are cleaned with 100% natural and biodegradable products
	All of Indigo Inks Offset and Digital presses are considered to be more environmentally friendly with a significant reduction in the emission of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) compared to traditional offset.
	We use environmentally friendly vendors for all our business needs, where available. For instance, we have a contract with GreenClean LLC (www.GreenCleanUSA.org) for facility cleaning.
	Indigo Ink owns and utilizes fuel efficient and/or hybrid automobiles for deliveries and other transportation needs.
	We are members of the CEP (The Clean Energy Partnership), a mid-Atlantic organization that brings businesses, individuals, and organizations together to promote sustainable solutions for pressing environmental challenges, including global warming, air pollution, and the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
