Environmental Printing

Printing by definition has an environmental impact, so at 6274 we take great care in the print management of your job.

Our passion is for great design, so once you’ve signed off our creations we ensure that they are printed to the highest standards.

We make sure that the printers we use:

• are FSC accredited or working towards it
• have modern printing presses, with minimum paper wastage
• use vegetable based inks
• recycle all waste paper produced in the printing process
• minimise the use of solvents

We are also happy to advise on the most appropriate paper choices for your job.
