How we do it

How every job is printed

Every job we print uses recycled paper, soy-based inks and chlorine-free processing, whether it is 250 business cards or a full book run.

01

The paper

100% post-consumer waste, FSC-certified, from Sustana, Mohawk, Monadnock, Rolland and Denmaur. It takes a crisp score and holds fine type at small sizes.

02

The ink

Soy-based inks are made from a renewable crop and are a lower-VOC alternative to petroleum-based inks. They print clean, even color on recycled paper.

03

The process

Our paper is bleached without chlorine. We can also add a recycled paper emblem to the printed piece if you would like to show your sustainability credentials.

04

Our story

Eco-friendly printing since 1990

Greg Barber moved his press to recycled stock and soy-based inks in 1990, when neither was easy to source and no client was asking for it. Thirty-six years later the same standard applies to every job, from a run of 250 business cards to a full magazine print run.

The business started in Northport, New York and is now run from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Greg still takes the calls himself.

Client testimonial
I had a new business card made by Greg Barber, and it’s not just any card, it’s a coaster! As I handed it out, I was met with enthusiastic reactions: “That’s fantastic! Who designed it?”
