## Sustainability story

Technikal is a boutique fine-art printer with a mission to produce prints as sustainably as possible. Our clients are artists and the companies and institutions that support them. We believe that while our footprint is small our influence is not. Despite the fact that artists have often been the first and strongest voices calling for responsible use of our planet’s resources, the fine-art printing industry has been slow to address its environmental impact. Being Climate Neutral Certified is just one part of our plan to address this.
