The following was reposted from Greener Photography – greenerphotography.org/gpblogentry/first-green-photo-lab-consumer. Thanks to Thea Dodds for writing it and for all her work at Greener Photography.
“The First Green Photo Lab for Consumers
An industry first… green consumer snapshots, album prints, and professional proofs.
EcoVisualLab.com will also offer new consumer prints in two sizes, 4×6 and 8×12 . These more
automated prints are available in two surfaces starting at just $1.00 each, a cost that’s far less than
custom prints and affordable for any photographer.
EcoVisualLab.com offers custom photo printing that is:
• Completely sustainable
• Uses 100% cotton papers made from the post-industrial waste cotton from the
manufacture of cotton-seed oil and sourced locally, reducing the carbon emissions
associated with transport
• Totally chlorine free (TCF) and process chlorine free (PCF)
• Archival
• Museum quality
• Fully recyclable and made from recycled materials
• Non-toxic and safer for all indoor environments
VOC-free aqueous inks:
• Eliminate worker and customer health hazards
•Eliminate toxic out-gassing (off-gassing or fumes)
•Eliminate unhealthy or objectionable odors”
This lab is in Wayland, Massachusetts. Best of luck to them and may something similar come to Toronto before too long.
