Do you know of any other US printer offering Hemp paper?
Hey, Indie Printing (in Downtown LA) claims to be the only American professional printers offering hemp paper as a tree-free option for business cards, postcards, door hangers, posters etc. I??ve been trying to verify if this is correct or not.
The cool thing about this is Indie Printing is offering a FREE upgrade to the hemp paper for business card or postcard orders (upto 1,000) with their LA Weekly ad before July 21, 2010. So the hemp is FREE! And we all want HEMP to be FREE!
I??ve checked out this printer and asked one of the owners a bunch of questions because they claim to be eco-conscious in everything they do from not only the paper (which is 70+% post-consumer) and the soy ink. But from their work environment to their delivers (most of which are done in a hybrid).
They pay their employees to take public transit or their bikes to work.
Their industrial-sized printer doesn??t omit any toxic fumes and there for did not require a special permit (they bought their printer in America). The hemp comes from Canada (not China)?
They avoid working with countries and companies that cannot document their labor practices. They donate their ??mistakes? to an art project that helps under-privileged youth (if they can?if they cannot they make sure it gets recycled properly). They use eco-friendly cleaners to clean the press.
I couldn??t find anything bad about them. Has anyone else heard of them or know anything more about them?
