Summer Reading to Help Printers Go Green
Lean Printing: Pathway to Success
In today’s competitive environment, it is mandatory for printers to find new ways to reduce costs, waste and setup time, while adding value to the products they offer their customers. By examining proven techniques, “Lean Printing: Pathway to Success” shows the benefits that come from engaging the entire workforce in recognizing value-adding processes and eliminating waste—whether that means wasted material, wasted motion, or wasted time.
Print is Green Report
The third edition of “Print is Green,” a report from WhatTheyThink’s Economics and Research Center, is full of information that will help commercial printers to become environmentally sustainable and responsible.
The goal of the report is to offer a value proposition for sustainable printing. As the report repeatedly stresses, “The more printers who don’t see the value in sustainable print themselves, the more it reinforces the belief of those who feel that print is an environmentally unfriendly medium.”
As we emerge from the recession, slowly but surely, environmental sustainability will become an increasingly important issue—especially among young people.
