Local graphic designer takes Eco stand - Need some shirts or posters?
Posted in Business, Entrepreneurship on 04.29.08 14:44

For those of you needing shirts printed and are concerned with the use of chemicals in standard shirt inks and solvents, I´ve quit working with Plasticol inks a while ago due to the harsh chemicals used in both the inks themselves and the cleanup.

These inks are incredibly toxic to both make and print with.

I´m now printing with an ink called Permaset which is an Australian company using 100% water based inks with equal quality as its harsh alternative. I´m now set up for printing up to 4 colours on fabric with perfect registration.

I´ve also stopped printing on any clothing that is not produced in North America. Although these shirts end up costing a bit more they´re made with fair wage standards and more locally produced than alternative cheaper companies.

if you´re interested in having clothing printed by a conscious printer contact me. if you´d like to read more about the inks themselves go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbxgvrxysyA

for cd cases I´m now printing exclusively with stumptown printers cases which are 100% recycled materials and technolithe papers which are also 100% recycled(post consumer and pre-consumer recycled)
