"Green" Printing

Today there are more ways than ever to produce environmentally-friendly printed materials. At Cedar Graphics, we are leaders in the movement toward printing "green."

By switching to low polluting inks and solvents, using papers with high levels of post-consumer waste, and recycling most of the scrap materials generated in the printing process, Cedar Graphics is helping to protect the environment while creating your project. Plus, if you want to communicate your green efforts to customers, we can assist with official trademarks, logos and green materials. No matter what you're printing it's easier to print "green" when you partner with Cedar Graphics.

We can even help develop paperless communications such as HTML, email, and personalized Web pages that can enhance your marketing material and increase customer response exponentially.

Green Inks

UV Inks

UV inks have virtually no toxins or VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) making them more environmentally friendly than conventional inks. We are one of the few printers in Iowa that offers clients the ability to use these inks on their printed pieces. In addition, we are a member of RadTech International North America which works to promote the use of UV & EB technology to save energy and eliminate pollution. Read more about UV inks here>>>

Green Paper

FSC certified.

The FSC Trademark identifies products which contain wood from well managed forests certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council. We are one of the few printers in Iowa that offers clients the ability to display this certification on their printed pieces.

Green Facilities

Recycle everything.

Almost nothing goes to waste at Cedar Graphics. On an annual basis we recycle 1,500 tons of paper, 6,000 pounds of ink, and 41,000 pounds of metal printing plates in addition to other materials.

As a leader in our industry, we've also eliminated the use of numerous hazardous chemicals in the printing process.
