Virtually all of Printing Services fine paper stocks are
available as recycled and contain a minimum of 10%
post consumer waste.There are no rules for selection
of paper and ink except suitability, preference, time,
and expense. Papers for printed materials and covers
range in weight, texture, color, and cost.

Choosing recycled paper seems an obvious choice to
keep your project green, or eco-friendly. Even though
recycled paper is becoming a more popular item, easier
to find, and has higher post-consumer waste content, it
can be more expensive. The positive benefit of being environmentally responible can outweigh the out-of-pocket
expense.

Although, the type of paper selected is important in carrying out
the style of the overall design, be aware that unusual paper stocks that must be special ordered from a paper mill can be expensive
and could require additional time for delivery.

Colored inks on colored papers provide a wide range of opportunities and potential problems. Inks are transparent and therefore, are affected by paper color and absorbency. The true color of your selected inks will show up best when printed on white papers. Samples of paper stock "swatches", as well as a large variety of ink colors, are available for review at the Printing Services offices. Printed samples are also available to aid in paper and ink selection. We will be more than pleased to assist you.
