Printing companies are becoming stewards of the environment… in the paper they buy, the ink they use and the less VOCs they emit. New and improved vegetable-based inks and recycled paper grades are more available.

Apparently the previous owner of the company had been jimmying the postage meter for a number of years, only paying for every fifth or sixth mail piece. But the G Men had gotten wise to his antics. And screwing around with USPS
