Founded in 1970, Quality Printing Company provides digital prepress, print production, bindery, direct mail and fulfillment services for companies ranging in size from Fortune 500 to sole proprietorships.

Anderson, Ind. -- Quality Printing Company, one of the Midwest's premier commercial sheet-fed printers, announced today that its manufacturing plant is now 100-percent wind-powered, making it one of only two printers in the entire Indianapolis metro area able to make that claim.

Quality Printing has partnered with Community Energy, which develops wind farms, supplies power directly to end users and offers green energy solutions to major businesses and governments as well as to more than 110,000 residential and small-business customers.

Using Community Energy's network of alternative energy suppliers and electricity distribution utilities, Quality Printing now purchases
wind-generated renewable energy certificates that verify that all of the electricity it uses in its daily operations is directly matched to a
wind energy purchase.

"Taking steps like this will allow Quality Printing Company to help
preserve our environment in a tangible way," said Steve Harney, CEO. "This move toward more responsible and sustainable practices also reflects Quality Printing Company's serious and ongoing commitment to embracing environmentally friendly production practices, equipment, facilities and products."

Founded in 1970, Quality Printing Company provides digital prepress, print production, bindery, direct mail and fulfillment services for companies ranging in size from Fortune 500 to sole proprietorships.

"Moving toward more responsible and sustainable practices reflects
Quality Printing's serious and ongoing commitment to embracing the use of truly green production practices, equipment, facilities and products whenever possible," says CEO Steve Harney.

Quality Printing is spending significant dollars and man hours to market sustainable products to its clients while educating them on the benefits of practicing sustainability. These efforts include:

renewable energy certificates which directly match all of the
electricity QPC uses in its daily operations to a wind energy purchase
-- Printing on FSC-certified papers with soy-based inks
-- Purchasing paper made using Elemental Chlorine-Free (ECF), a
pollution-preventing bleaching agent that eliminates persistent bioaccumulative toxic substances in mill waste-water
-- Using some of the most energy-efficient, pollution-reducing
prepress and production systems in the industry
