Everyone Prints Black … Now We Can Print ‘Green’
Maine company offers first soy-based toner cartridges for offices and schools
STANDISH, Maine, PRC Technologies, a division of
Print Recovery Concepts Inc., announced today an environmental breakthrough in
printing for offices, public schools and colleges.  This summer, PRC will
offer the first laser printer cartridges using toner powder derived from
soybeans.  PRC reports they will supply cartridges for the most popular laser
printers under the SoyPrint brand at prices comparable to brand name versions
currently available.  Soy ink has been available for some time but this is the
first soy toner cartridge for laser printers.

Debe Overhaug, president of Print Recovery Concepts, reports a printer
cartridge contains one pound of toner powder and that U.S. businesses,
schools, institutions and governments consume over 100 million cartridges per
year.  “That means the United States consumes as much as 50,000 tons of
petroleum-based toner powder each year.  Now every office employee can help
reduce dependence on oil every time they put a toner cartridge in their
printer,” Overhaug says.

PRC has completed months of extensive testing and reports the print
quality and number of pages per cartridge match brand name versions.  Overhaug
also noted soy toner does not harm the printers.  SoyPrint cartridges are
manufactured in the U.S. and will be shipped from warehouses all over the
country.

“Any office can print in a ‘green’ manner,” Overhaug said.  She advised
that an office can use high quality, compatible soy-based toner cartridges,
recycled paper and, when a printer gets old, donate it to a public school
during tight budget times.  Empty toner cartridges should be carefully
recycled.

SoyPrint cartridges will be easy to identify as each will be marked with
SoyPrint labels.  PRC refers its customers to recycled paper suppliers,
recycles all empty cartridges and arranges for businesses to donate unneeded
printers instead of discarding them.

“As we developed this soy cartridge, we realized if we looked at the
entire printing process, any office can significantly reduce the environmental
impact on our planet,” Overhaug said.  “This is truly the most environmentally
sustainable way to print.”

Print Recovery Concepts, Inc. has been a leading provider of compatible
toner cartridges to business and education for 15 years. The firm recognized
the potential for soy toner in 2006.  PRC is pleased to bring this
environmentally friendly product to market.
