Your planet needs you!

“Your planet needs you!  Unite to combat climate change” is the theme of the 2009 World Environment Day.  Created by the United Nations in 1972, this day serves to stimulate global awareness of environmental issues and to prompt political action.  Celebrated on June 5^th, World Environment Day presents a different theme and host country each year.  This year Mexico holds the honor. 

Today, ask yourself: what importance does the protection of the environment have in your life?  Do you recycle plastics and glass?  Do you always turn the light off when leaving a room?  Do you eat organic foods?  Do you travel by bicycle instead of by car?

At ooprint, we are dedicated to pursuing environmentally-friendly business practices.  We exclusively use papers which are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, ensuring that our papers come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic, and ecological needs of present and future generations.  More specifically, FSC certification guarantees the prohibition of conversion of forests or other natural habitats, the respect of international workers rights, the non-use of hazardous chemicals, the respect of Human Rights with particular attention to indigenous peoples, and the identification and appropriate management of areas needing special protection (cultural or sacred sites, or habitats of endangered animal and plant species).

Ooprint takes our commitment to the protection of the environment even further by implementing strict procedures concerning paper recycling, the disposal of ink cartridges and chemical products, and careful energy consumption.

The Art of the Postcard

Christelle Bauduin, a French painter, came to ooprint looking for a solution to promote her art exhibits.  She needed a communication tool that is both practical and creative . . . voilà the art of the postcard!  Christelle chose both horizontal and vertical formats of our postcard models, onto the front of which she uploaded her original works and on the back personalized her contact information.  The result: colorful postcards perfect for sending out invitations to her upcoming gallery openings, unveiling new works, and keeping her fans and followers up to date her exhibits.  The superior print quality provided by ooprint ensures that her beautiful paintings are accurately replicated.  Talk about a work of art!

Secretaries, it's YOUR day!

It is one of the top occupations in the United States* and yet those who practice this profession are too often unnoticed and underappreciated.  They are the unsung heroes of the office: secretaries.

The term “secretary” covers a number of diverse professions: medical secretary, legal assistant, P.A., administrative assistant, social secretary, executive assistant.  Each shares common key characteristics: exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills.  In addition to these human qualities, secretaries often possess specific expertise such as proficiency in multiple languages and knowledge of office and accounting software.

To honor these important employees, we celebrate Secretary’s Day (officially “Administrative Professionals Day”) on April 22nd.  A small gesture of appreciation for the people who take care of everything from travel arrangements, ordering business cards, and tracking expenses to internal communications, organizing company events, and repairing the office coffee machine.  Don’t forget to acknowledge the hard work, patience, and dedication of your secretaries that make your business a success. 

A very special thank you, of course, to the secretaries at ooprint J
