Artist Organized Art Non-Profit Works With Artists & Institutions To Support Artist Organized Media, Events & Cultural Education By Strategic, Collaborative & Financial Means

The first edition (right) of “Go Green on Your Next Printing” was published in 2009 by Reza Shafii of Tiger Press, headquartered in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The second edition (left) just came out with new chapters, illustrations and info graphics of the latest information on “Green Printing.”

This book is written to provide the reader with some valuable information about “Green Printing”. As of today, there are no established standards for “Green Printing” and different printers and customers interpret the term differently. This book covers a broad range of issues and will help the reader get a better understanding of what options are available for environmentally responsible printing.

Today, there are many magazines printed on every subject matter you can imagine. Every town, community or organization has its own newspaper. Books are published every day and in every part of the world. The printed marketing materials have become as essential part of every business. We all receive many printed advertisement materials in our mailboxes daily, which we refer to as junk mail. This mass production is becoming a concern for the environment.

Where do the raw materials come from, and where does the waste go? What type of hazardous material is used in the printing process, and what are the effect of all these on our environment? These are some questions that I hope you will find the answers to in this book.

TigerPress is a certified Women Owned Company specializing is custom printing of books, catalogs, magazine, as well as custom printed cartons/boxes. www.tigerpress.com
