Digital Printing

Eco Print specialises in short and medium run digital printing.

What makes us ‘Eco’?

All Eco Print printing is on recycled paper and card. Our preference is always paper made from 100% recycled post consumer waste. Eco Print completes the environmentally friendly print process by using inks developed using organic based polymers instead of chemical based polymers. These fuse at a lower temperature making the whole process more energy efficient. These inks give a 1st class quality finish with vibrant colours which do not fade or peel off..

The cost saving and environmental benefits of the digital process lie in the very nature of short run printing – there is no minimum order and as such, you order what you actually need using less consumables and causing less wastage.

if you only want 150 letter heads why pay for a 500 minimum order at a litho printers?
 
Our digital printer is energy efficient using less heat. The majority of parts are replaceable and recyclable. When the toner and image drums are used up they are returned to the provider and once refilled they are sent back out to be reused.

Digital print turn around is traditionally much quicker as there is no plate making process, less set up time and no print drying before trimming.

Eco Print is proud to be able to offer clients the new biodegradable banner. Made from Bioflex™, a biodegradable PVC material, these banners are printed using eco-solvent inks with no loss of quality nor length of life due to their biodegradable status. Perfect indoors or outdoors! When finished with, these can be put in your normal rubbish and will begin to degrade in landfill within just a few weeks.

New Eco-Directory BOOK OF GREEN makes green living easy

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Appearing
this month on the shelves in WH Smith and Borders nationwide, new eco-living
directory BOOK OF GREEN is the most comprehensive guide for everybody to
genuinely and easily green their lifestyles.

With
the general public currently becoming more receptive to living a more
eco-friendly life, this completely free guide points the consumer in the right
direction – it includes hundreds of approved ethical providers in a wide range
of sectors including business services, health and beauty, home and garden,
green energy, travel, parenting and food & drink.  All the companies
in the directory are in some way mostly or completely environmentally friendly,
sustainable, fair trade, organic,  ethical and socially responsible.

Book
of Green is intended to show everybody how to easily reduce their carbon
footprint, live a healthy lifestyle and make  a personal positive 
impact on the environment by integrating truly ethical products and services
into their daily home and family lives.

With
an initial print run of 30,000, the guide comes in a handy A5 format and is
printed in vegetable inks on 100% recycled paper.  An online flip magazine
version is also available at www.bookofgreen.com 
 Book of Green will be available in WH Smiths this July, attached to the
front of Permaculture Magazine as well as distributed across the UK in high
street eco stores, online eco stores, and at events during the summer as well
as at the Eden Project and the Kent Eco Village, the Kent Show by The
Ecologist, July 17-19.

Book
of Green is co-founded by Sue Jueno (founder of Allthingseco) and Katie Keegan
(founder of One Green Earth),
 whose combined experience of 6 years in the eco/ethical business arena
has given them the experience, knowledge and contacts to create a guide for
green living which everybody can trust.

“Being
green is more than reducing the threat of climate change, it’s also about
ethical trading and personal health.  The companies found within Book of
Green provide solutions across all sectors through their products &
services to help build a positive foundation for your family’s future
generations,”  says Katie Keegan.

“With
credit crunch in mind and a passion for promoting green shoot businesses we
have made Book of Green extremely affordable to advertisers and free to the
public to show off exceptional companies that are solving environmental
problems and that will be leading us into the future,” says Sue Jueno.

The Straw Paper

Along with our more exotic range we print on ’standard’

Welcome To Eco Print

Friday, March 13th, 2009

We at Eco Print would like to introduce ourselves as new members of
Ethical Junction. We are a 100% environmentally friendly alternative to
traditional printing methods using only  recycled paper and card. Our
energy efficient digital printer uses ink derived from organic, as
opposed to chemical polymers, and at the end of its use will be broken
down and recycled. Our litho printer uses a plate-making process that
is totally chemical free.

The Eco Print shop opened in October 2007 and was fitted out using wood from locally-managed woodland or woodland approved by the FSC! We believe ourselves to be truly friendly to the environment, ensuring that the phone company we use is the ‘greenest’ we can find, one that produces its own electricity and offsets its carbon footprint. We also bank ethically with the Co-Operative Bank.

As well as our quality ‘white’ recycled papers we offer an exciting range of recycled specialist papers and cards,  including ones made from Rhino Poo, Elephant Poo, sourced from UK Safari Parks, Beer Barrel Dregs, Marshland, Straw, Hay, Grass, Shredded Banknotes, Coffee, Bananas and even Wild Seed Paper that when planted grows Wild Flowers or Lavender! We think these are great examples of how to use resources that are often just thrown away.

Our Eco Policy is  Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and this should not mean compromising on quality, or for that matter costing the earth! Eco Print handles all jobs, digital and litho, specializing in short and medium size print runs. We even have an experienced graphic designer on board if extra help is needed.

Like our printing process, every member of the Eco Print team is free from artificial colours and preservatives and happy to offer friendly helpful advice. We are an approachable, locally based company, big enough to cope but small enough to care.

Eco Hotels of the World

Friday, November 28th, 2008

“Eco Hotels of the World” book recently launched on Amazon  – guiding all holiday makers to the pleasures of guilt-free responsible travel

From business trips to family holidays, camping to luxury spas, travel is an integral part of today’s society, but with green and environmental issues surrounding responsible travel so much higher on the agenda, what on earth should we do to keep our travel as ethical and sustainable as possible?  How can we feel the pleasure of holidaying without the stab of guilt that often accompanies it?

Help is now at hand – from the creators of independently researched and certified website www.ecohotelsoftheworld.com comes their first comprehensive, “greenly” produced book “Eco Hotels of The World” – available online from Amazon from today, 10th November. The guide, printed on FSC sustainable paper and with the carbon footprint offset with Blue Ventures Carbon Offset, proves without a doubt that self-indulgence can co-exist with a clear conscience.


Helping all of us to get away from guilt whatever our holiday or travel pleasure, Eco Hotels of the World lists 87 green holiday venues around the globe, rating them in five individual sections from one to five green stars: Energy, Water, Disposal, Eco-Active and Protection.


“The book is the culmination of our work collecting and rating green establishments, and has been produced entirely independently without taking money from the listed properties, ensuring complete honesty and impartiality from our reviewers to give the public a genuine appraisal of the venues and their claims and qualities,” says the book’s author Alex Conti.


In the book you will find destinations including safari parks, island dwellings and even beaches in Alaska, and is intended for use by eco-warriors and eco-wonderers alike. Whatever your green credentials, the guide makes being green easy and fun. The book contains 600 full colour images, detailed information, honest reviews and an Eco Tips section.


Website venture ecohotelsoftheworld.com started with a handful of volunteers less than a year ago and has proved so successful after widespread online visibility that the book was created.


The reviews are compiled by a team of editors who research the properties and score them using a strict vetting procedure. They also rely upon volunteers feeding back from around the globe on their genuine travels and personal impressions of the eco hotels they have visited.


Timeout says of the website “Now there’s no excuse: plan your holidays with an eco-conscience this season,” and Panorama has said it is an important “point of reference for travellers all over the world.”


The book is available from now at Amazon at the discounted price of £9.20 to coincide with its launch (usual price £13.95).
