[Hidden-tech] Printers using soy-based inks

[lrosedesign at comcast.net]

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions for eco-friendly printers.

Hatfield Printing
AM Litho in Chicopee
Red Sun Press in Boston
Tiger Press in Northampton, http://www.tigerpress.com/eco-friendly-printing.asp

I'm looking to have a postcard printed for the Springfield Materials Recycling Facility, that's why the interest in non-toxic inks and recycled paper. I would also be interested in hearing from anyone who has used Hatfield Printing.

Thanks!
Lisa Rosenthal
