Seattle Green Salon
The Seattle Chapter is holding its second Green Salon on Thursday, February at CCS Printing in Bellevue, WA. The chapter's first Salon was held last September.
The Salon will address concerns about how to be greener on print jobs. Attendees will get chance to look at new printing technology and join the green conversation with printers and paper companies in order to get some great ideas on how they might change their processes with printing to be more sustainable.
Before the program, attendees will receive light refreshments and have an opportunity to wander through CCS's print facilities to see how they are reducing their carbon footprint. The speakers will begin at 6:30 pm, followed by a question and answer period after each speaker.
The first speaker is Bob Akers a paper rep for Xpedx. He will be talk about the state of recycled papers and FSC certified paper. What are the options? Do these papers cost more? What will be important for clients to hear?
The second speaker will be a member of CCS's sustainability council. They will review the printing process and the steps designers can take along the way for being more sustainable and fiscal. This information will include insight on ink, sheet size, varnishes, fulfillment and finishes.
