For a lot of my letterpress printing I have polymer plates made through Boxcar Press so I can use modern day typefaces & custom illustration. This past week I just finished designing an upcoming Dept. of Energy promo poster in which I needed a pretty big plate made. On my invoice, I found notes for something new they are doing this year for orders over $100. I have to say, I really like this idea by a company as a way to make a greener world. By knowing I am using earth friendly inks, all natural cleaning solvents, all cotton paper, and having a tree planted in her name while making posters on an old steel press, it sure makes a designer gal feel real good.

Oh, and keep an eye on the Skip Report for a future glimpse of the poster being made & as a final in the upcoming weeks.
