We should help move towards environmental friendly printing. By buying organic or environmental friendly products is one way of helping save mother earth. Recycled paper printing and soy based ink are used by some companies instead of traditional petroleum based ink to become more organic. Normally, soy based ink was developed for newspaper printing purpose. Currently it is also used for business cards and product catalogs. The advantages of this ink are it is environmental friendly and colors tend to be vibrant.

Takahashi,

You're so right! Conventional textile dyes for the mass market are full of toxic chemicals and heavy metals. I doubt most designers think about that when they contract out for their work, especially since most of the dyeing is done overseas and Westerners don't see the horrible pollution caused by the dye houses.
