How did you branch into printing?
As printing operations became more computerized, our well-established knowledge of digital prepress gave us a major head start when we decided to venture into offset printing. Computer-to-plate technology, color-management systems, and digital press controls allowed us to shape an offset printing operation that was far less wasteful than traditional shops.
What made you decide to offer printing online?
Setting up eCommerce was a natural extension of some of the web-based services we'd already offered as a prepress company. By allowing customers to get pricing, place and track orders, and set up deliveries and shipments anytime they wished, we realized we had seized upon a powerful and efficient new way to conduct business.
Business is Personal
What made you decide to fully commit to being an eco-friendly company?
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, with its proximity to so many natural wonders, I had always felt a strong connection to nature and the environment. But it wasn't until the birth of my second child that I became passionate about making sure my business was as sustainable as it was successful. I felt it my responsibility as a business owner to see that my children could grow up enjoying the natural beauty of the Bay Area that I had come to love.
How did you set about becoming a green printer?
We decided first to focus on paper. Paper manufacturing has traditionally been one of the most environmentally harmful industries in the world, destroying natural resources and churning out countless tons of waste. When we discovered New Leaf Paper, we knew we'd found a like-minded partner, and in 2005, we rolled out Greenerprinter, the first online printing site to offer recycled paper exclusively.
