Green Printing is a term that is tossed about quite a bit but green printing comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and commitments. At Conquest Graphics our commitment to the environment is good for the environment, good for our customers and good for business.  

Conquest Graphics is certified “Green” by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody (CoC) Standards.

At every turn Conquest Graphics Online Printing Company strives to recycle, reuse or reduce the materials that are necessary to produce a printed document so as not to add pollutants to the earth. 

In fact, Conquest Graphics saves over 6500 trees a year by using recycled materials  (as measured by the Shred-it Corp from April 2010 to April 2011). 

Some key elements of our commitment to green printing include:

• ALL of our standard papers are recycled papers that are elemental chlorine-free and contain a minimum of 10% post-consumer waste.
• We offer 100% recycled paper for our business card printing.
• The inks we used are soy-based ink which is non-toxic to the environment and is easier to remove from paper prior to the recycling process
• We use clean manufacturing methods in our printing facility which means that we use alcohol-free dampening solutions and water-based, low ammonia emission aqueous coatings.
• Our pre-press area is completely digital so we no longer use any photo chemicals (many of which are highly poisonous)
• We also recycle all of our used aluminum printing plates
• Plus 100% of our waste paper is recycled

But our commitment to the environment goes far beyond green printing. We re-vamped our communication process and set a goal of implementing a totally paperless internal communication system. By the end of 2010, Conquest Graphics eliminated 90% of office paper usage which translates to saving approximately 30 additional trees.  Of course, any paper used in the office is sent away for recycling.  

Finally, even our physical production facility is “green”. Only recyclable materials were used in the construction and many factors were considered when it came to lowering energy usage.

And if you are worried about price, at Conquest Graphics, we are as committed to saving you money as we are to saving the environment. At Conquest Graphics, when you go green, you save green!
