Paper, paper...where do I begin? If you know me, you know I have been diligently searching for a marketable solution for green photo paper. I have now decided to use Red River Paper for my work.
Red River Paper introduces 62lb. GreenPix Photo Matte. This new paper is a first in the industry, made of 100% post-consumer recycled content. This recycled paper is unique with its top grade photo inkjet coating and sturdy card weight and thickness.
GreenPix base paper is made in a chlorine free process and carries the approval of the Forest Stewardship Council™*. (Redrivercatalog.com)
Thus far, it is the greenest option for professional photo printing according to
Greener Photography’s Recommendations:
"Inkjet printing on a natural fiber paper is our best current option."(GreenerPhotography.org where I am now a member!)
The heavy matte paper brings an artistic look to my work and is to be appreciated by those who wish their art to match their sustainable ideals.
The search is over! I am chemical free! It is true eco photography.
If you are interested, read more here at Conservatree.com and read "Photographers: How green is your photo paper?"
(Paper applies to 8 by 10 and under, clients can choose between traditional photo printing or eco printing. It is a start for green photography. More about a professional green lab coming soon!)
