What about the ink used to print my art on these beautiful Vegan Organic Cotton T-shirts? We have that covered!
We use a printing company that use DTG printers, that use inks that are Vegan friendly and OEKO-TEX certified, which means they contain no chemicals which negatively impact or harm the environment. The inks are water-based and because they use DTG there is less waste than other garment printing methods. They also donate any garments that don’t pass quality control to charity, which as well as helping their local community, it reduces the amount of waste they dispose of.
Are your picture frames made from sustainably sourced wood?
Yes, they are! Our printing company use wood and pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests to make all of their picture frames.
Sustainably managed forests meet the needs of wildlife while supporting livelihoods and providing many other ecosystem services, such as carbon storage and flood risk mitigation.
Our Hahnemühle Photo Rag (308gsm) and Hahnemühle German Etching (310gsm) are both vegan certified.
The printers use Neo pigment, water-based inks that are 100% non-hazardous and toxin-free. They meet the strictest industry standards as defined by Oeko-Tex 100 safety applications for infant wear, Global Organic Textiles (GTOTS-3V), Residues Standard List (RSL) and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists.
