Print Runner has gone green.

As part of PrintRunner’s commitment to a greener planet, they have adopted, some of the most environmentally friendly printing practices in the industry.

They use only vegetable-based inks! By eliminating petroleum based inks, they are reducing their environmental impact. Vegetable-based inks are made from a renewable resource, and are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
