Austin Graphics is very pleased to announce the safe arrival of two healthy baby boys!
Crystal from our Port Elgin office welcomes home “Chase Ronald”. Amy from our Owen Sound office can boast about “Arie Glen”.
These two beautiful boys have already visited us at Austin Graphics and we think they both have an eye for design! We look forward to being part of their little worlds and wish Crystal and Amy the very best!
Congratulations ladies!
Agfa Graphics announced that 25 customers in North America have been selected to receive the GreenWorks™ Environmental Recognition Award. GreenWorks is an exclusive program created by Agfa Graphics that recognizes and supports environmental efforts in the graphic communications industry. The newest GreenWorks customers from Canada and the U.S. are acknowledged to be exceptionally proactive in their efforts to minimize their ecological footprints while maintaining the highest quality standards of professional graphic communications.
Printing companies become part of Agfa’s GreenWorks program through a nomination and review process by an outside agency. To qualify, they must use either Agfa Graphics’ :Azura chemistry-free plates or :Amigo low-chemistry CtP plates. They must also utilize a number of other environmentally-friendly products and be involved in other efforts such as recycling, reducing waste, utilizing alternative energy sources in their plants and other similar ventures. They stand out as graphic communication companies who are more environmentally sensitive and are marketing themselves in that way.
Austin Graphics is honored to be one of only 79 companies in North America to receive the Greenworks Environmental Recognition Award for Excellence in Environmental Printing.
Our current status as an environmental leader results from the following installations and implementations:
Installation of Chemistry-Free Printing Plates
By eliminating the chemistry traditionally used when producing printing plates, we improved the quality of our customers’ print jobs and our delivery times, while reducing the negative impact on our environment.
The Use of Vegetable and Soy-Based Inks
These inks are less harmful to the environment than petroleum-based inks and are widely recognized as the environmentally-friendly choice.
We recycle or reuse any unused inks.
Choosing FSC Certified Papers as our House Brand
All products carrying the FSC Logo are independently certified as coming from forests that meet the internationally recognized Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship.

Recycling our Offcut and Scrap Paper
We donate to local churches and daycares for their creative and craft programs.
Traditional recycling methods for paper, cans, plastic, and tin have been in place for many years.
