Thanks. Now I’ll have to go look at/test more papers.

So great to find your post and the link to Green-in-Print. I’ve not printed my photography for 15yrs now because I couldn’t source green photo papers. At that time even standard papers for my Graphic Design work were hard to find without quality going down and costs going up. It’s good to see that it is now easy to find those papers FSC certified, quality recycled and Carbon neutral print papers… now we need to push for similar standards in photo inkjet papers so that someday they too will have greener options as standard. I’m sure prices will be prohibitive initially (imagine the cost for organic cotton rag paper!) but as with all these things awareness and demand will increase the production and lower the costs. Let’s hope it happens soon.

Great subject Mark. We can never know enough about the materials we use and any company that is not forthcoming with information should be avoided in the information age.
