Press release from the issuing company

Marly, Switzerland – ILFORD, a leading developer and manufacturer of professional quality media for both inkjet printing and color photographic processes, today announced that most of its popular KODAK MATCHPRINT Inkjet Proofing Media have gone through the PEFC certification process.

Through this certification of environmental recognition, users of KODAK MATCHPRINT Inkjet Proofing Media can be confident that the products they are purchasing are produced to PEFC standards and support sustainable forestry.
