Grand River GreenMedia ™

Readers, advertisers and consumers are now more concerned than ever about climate change and the environment. They want to know that the print media you are providing has been produced in the most sustainable manner possible and that you have a very good reason for producing it in the first place. Today, everyone in the print media business needs to work very hard to make sure no one ever has a reason to think "they could have saved a tree."

As the publisher of a magazine or catalog, you need a full-service solution that:

• improves your sustainability profile
• uses online media to streamline the production process and to build readership and sales
• targets mailing and distribution of your project
• reduces costs

Grand River's new GreenMedia ™ program of products and services addresses all of these needs.

How are we doing this?

Grand River GreenMedia ™ is the most sustainable print product available anywhere. It brings together a unique blend of environmentally responsible print production materials and processes.

GreenMedia™ also utilizes browser-based tools and online editions to streamline the production process and increase business through the Internet. Lastly, our program helps you target the right audience to make sure that every copy you print is being delivered or made available to customers and readers who need your publication.

We believe that being sustainable is not only good for the environment, it is also a better way of doing business.

Our program includes the following features:

• The energy-cured UV process uses soy-based instead of oil-based inks and it uses electrically-powered UV lamps instead of natural gas-powered ovens for drying. Our printing press is also powered by renewable energy sources.


• All papers in our program are from wood and pulp sources and paper mills that are practicing responsible forestry. These papers are either FSC or SFI certified.


• Our prepress process uses online technology for soft-proofing and eliminates hard copy proofs.


• Our solution includes ePub editions of your publication that enhance your web presence and drive business through the Internet.


• We are optimizing mailing and distribution costs with our data list services and mail consolidation options.
