Being a greener printer makes a lot of sense in every way. You will save money, you will help your reputation and it can bring in more business. And, of course, it's good for the planet, our children and our grandchildren.

The Green Printer website is a gateway to independent information and practical advice on how printers can tackle the environmental issues facing them.  I regularly add information, so please come back to see what's new.

Measuring greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprinting are hot topics at the moment, particularly for printers who will be affected by the forthcoming CRC Energy Efficiency scheme in the UK, so I've been adding some new pages about this in the Save money, save energy section. If there is anything I've not covered, that would be useful, please write to me and let me know.

I'm also putting in more links for overseas readers to find their local sources of free information and advice.

I hope you find the site useful. If you have any thoughts and ideas on how it can be expanded and improved, please tell me.

This site has been made possible by FUJIFILM UK, whose vision for an independent environmental resource specifically for the printing industry matched my own. I would like to thank them for providing the initial funding for the site and helping to get it off the ground.
