Optimum sheet use

Commercial Printing:

To go green with commercial printing, opt for optimum sheet use. Work closely with the printer early in the planning process. Parent sheets of paper typically come in several standard sizes. You can size your projects to make more efficient use of standard sheet sizes by printing two-, three-, or four-up (or more) to use less paper and minimize waste.When making comps, request the use of double-sided, smaller, reused, or recycled paper.Research printing houses that use environmentally friendly inks (also called agri-based inks). These are made from biodegradable organic components, such as soy, linseed, or cottonseed oil.These practices not only help save the environment, they save your client money. So he profits from being environmentally conscious.
