Why Consider Recycled Printing?

There are three main environmental reasons for switching to 100% recycled printing:

• It saves trees!
• If paper isn’t recycled it goes to landfill - so by switching to recycled paper for your printing you’re helping to create demand.
• Paper recycling uses far less energy than making virgin fibre paper.

For more information, and to dispel some negative “urban myths” have a look at our article which explains the facts about recycled paper

Our friends over at Fuzzydon.com specialise in Funny Cartoon Caricatures, such as this one they have done for me. Of course I am nowhere near as good looking in real life

We are going to be using these caricatures for some of our own marketing campaigns, including a Promotional Postcard Mailer and some Posters.

Meanwhile, Fuzzydon also provide items such as key rings, mugs, fridge magnets and mouse mats incorporating your caricature, so you can complete your promotional campaign in style!

Why not have a look at their website, or give them a call on 01822 615664 and ask for Suzi.

In order to use the FSC Logo, Printers must be certified with a valid Chain of Custody. A common misconception is that it is ok to label a job as “Printed on FSC Certified Paper”, without using the logo. In fact, this is not permissable without certification either.

We have been busily developing - A Local Printer - The Game - which is now live for your enjoyment.

Special thanks to Games4Business who designed it for us. If you are looking for a viral game for your business why not look them up?

We wanted something a bit different, with extra levels of complexity built in, and that’s what we got. It probably explains why my scores are rubbish at the moment!

We hope you enjoy our new game:
