Confscusion
A printer was quoted in a recent Printweek article as saying that “having FSC makes us acceptable to customers, but they don’t necessarily specify it.”
Confusingly, if you’re using an FSC certified printer but not using FSC stock then you’re doing nothing to help the environment.
FSC certification is about the fibre tracking process only and is NOT about the environmental standards maintained within the factory. If you’re after a printer that maintains high environmental standards, look for ISO14001 and, better still, EMAS. For more info take a look at www.lovelyasatree.com/choose_print.htm
