So how can we reduce, if not eliminate, use of these harmful solvents?

One way is by choosing printing inks. There are two types of ink, petroleum-based ink and soy-based ink, also known as soy ink. Soy inks are made from soybeans. It contains soybean oil used in cooking oil, so it is non-toxic. When used in printing, soy ink creates rich, vivid colors. It is safe because it decompose without harm to environment. Soy inks are accessible. They promote paper recycling and create less waste on press.

So why use harmful ink if you can use earth-friendly ink without compromising output and production?

Another way to prevent pollution is local exhaust ventilation or LEV. LEV removes offending materials before it can mix with air. With proper application of LEV, cleaning solvents can be quickly captured. Pollution can be also minimized by using water based cleaners and solutions with carcinogens at concentration below 0.1%.

It is very important to know product you are using. Read policies and rules regarding chemical use. Be aware of bad effects it may cause. Dispose of waste materials properly.

“I thought about role silence, pauses and breaks play in music and wondered why we always express silence visually by putting blank space between words. Silence is much more than nothingness, it can be a look from someone you love, a sigh between words or taking a deep breath. Silence holds meaning and shouldn't necessarily be represented by blank space, so I designed Acetone-companion 'Aether' for writing silence. The building block approach doesn't just apply to my dingbats. My typefaces usually feature connectors that bind words together as blocks of letters, much like way script-based fonts are bound together”, he explained.

‘Influenza’ his recently created font, was a break from connected systems of building blocks. According to him, one of reasons for this detour is that Influenza is based on a stripped down version of an earlier font. This stripping down ditched connectors and gave him a new base to work from. 'Influenza ’ was released on September 1st. After that Influenza will be available through Myfoints.com same as other fonts.
