Greening of Print — Saving Earth, Saving Money

"Being a green printer means we consider all aspects of our business. Being green is not just about paper and ink--these are merely items purchased from vendors. It is what we do with these products that determines our level of greenness."

Southeastern's green initiatives include: FSC certification; implementing online quoting and proofing systems; incorporating a CTP workflow; plate making with biodegradable chemistry; alcohol-free printing; utilizing a solvent recovery system; purchasing equipment that eliminates fountain solution dumps and extends fountain solution life; using vegetable-based and VOC-free inks; and recycling plates and paper.
