“The reason we chose DP was because it’s an industry solution which solves many of the problems we had in the standard Microsoft Dynamics setup. Also, there was demand from the management to have final costing, which was also a major challenge in the standard Dynamics solution.
DynamicsPrint® also helps us greatly with scheduling and shop floor management. The data gathered gives us great insights, and results in a much more cost-efficient production.”

Sustainability in print is no longer just about being environmentally conscious. It’s about staying competitive. According to recent research from Wide-format Impressions and PRINTING United Alliance, over 62% of print buyers consider sustainable production a key factor when choosing a print service provider (PSP). But what does sustainability in printing really mean, and how can wide-format printers meet rising expectations?
Sustainability Is a Business Strategy
Too often, sustainability is viewed as separate from business strategy. But as Gary Jones, VP of Environmental Affairs at PRINTING United Alliance, explains, sustainability and efficiency are deeply connected.
Sustainability goes beyond substrates and ink. It touches every part of the operation. From sourcing raw materials and managing energy use, to end-of-life material recycling and equipment replacement strategies.
What Print Buyers Want
Buyers today are more informed, and more demanding. Many expect PSPs to track, report, and improve their environmental impact. Certifications like Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) or local green business designations can serve as a competitive advantage.
Melissa Koke, President of QSL Print Communications, shared that sustainability practices such as reusing materials, sourcing green power, and investing in sustainable media are now part of their standard operations. Their customers expect it.
At SunDance, President John Henry Ruggieri notes that decisions about sustainable media must balance performance, scalability, and client application. Education plays a key role: “Clients often ask for materials that may not be the most sustainable. We steer them toward greener alternatives whenever possible.”
Three Practical Tips to Start
Gary Jones offers three small, strategic steps for PSPs:
Start small – Replace disposables with reusable items internally.
Track your metrics – You can’t reduce what you don’t measure.
Treat sustainability as a journey – It’s not one change; it’s continuous improvement.
Price Pressure vs. Process Value
While some customers may hesitate to pay more for sustainable materials, most value the story behind the print. Even if they don’t select a fully recyclable product, being able to tell a sustainability-focused story helps keep their business, and your value, intact.
Bottom Line: Sustainability Pays Off
For PSPs, sustainability isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s often the more cost-efficient path. Reducing energy consumption by 10–20% lowers operational costs. Recycling programs reduce waste disposal fees. And a strong sustainability narrative builds loyalty with environmentally focused brands.
As customer expectations evolve, PSPs that embrace sustainable print practices, from material sourcing to workflow optimization, will be better positioned to win and retain business in 2025 and beyond.
