Marshall,

I have to agree with Preston here. The cost of converting such a large inventory over can truly be prohibitive in terms of time and of revenue lost and that's understandable to some degree, you guys probably employ a lot of folks. But what the hell is this?

"Sustainable Green Printing Partnership Guiding Principles"

" We will instill continuous improvement of environmental stewardship within all aspects of the apparel decorating process, including areas not subject to regulation. "

This kind of mass, corporate "green washing" is unexcuseable. You need to face the fact that your phtalate-containing ink is toxic (yes, perhaps only to some but toxic nonetheless) and that's not green or sustainable in any sense of the word. If you don't care to switch then don't. But don't run around with yer "eco" certifications like your company is working towards that as a goal. Just be honest about it with your customers.

-Chris
