What is the best way to preserve very old pressed flowers?

Some time ago I purchased a bible at a flea market. It was given to an 8-year-old girl in 1910 and inside I recently discovered 12 four-leaf clovers. Nine of them have remained in tack. The other three have broken apart and the leaves have shredded. How can I preserve them remaining?

My father and grandfather used to put four-cleaf clovers on a piece of wood with an Irish good luck saying and varnish over the entire thing. The four-leaf clovers remained a vibrant green.

I don't think this will work since the pedals are already so delicate. I would like to lay them on a piece of paper with the information about them but I don't know if having them against the glass will further deteriorate them or if maybe a piece of vellum against the glass is the way to go.

Please help, I truly believe things like these should be treasured. Thank you!

How about trying 2 sheets of very thin acrylic. Or cellophane, you could buy that in stationery shop.

History may have a few questions for Wladimir Klitschko. It may question how his chin would hold up to the powerful right hand of George Foreman, how he would have countered the speed of Muhammad Ali or how he would have withstood the relentless pressure of Mike Tyson.

Print Green - Save Environment

In this age of digital technology, printing presses still play a major role in the production of a range of materials such as booklets, posters, postcards, brochures, business cards, calendars, stationeries etc. While this wide-spread process of printing gives us such informative and eye pleasing products, the resultant environment pollution caused due to these goes unnoticed. Saving the environment is a responsibility that is vested on for all of us and thus the need of the hour is to print green.

Printing green refers to the process that reduces wastes, encourages recycling and implements other measures that leads to an eco friendly printing operation. Such printing presses carry on their processes in a way that causes minimal harm to the environment. The primary concern for a green printing press is to manage wastes effectively. The objective is to have less waste being generated as that would mean fewer measures to be adopted to eliminate such wastes. Waste management starts from the prepress process itself. Efforts are concentrated towards pollution prevention processes that start with photographic chemistry management and recycling of used plates etc. Furthermore the wastes are segregated into categories such as hazardous and non hazardous wastes. The discharge of hazardous wastes is carried out in an eco friendly manner. Waste management in green printing houses are two fold i.e. either they implement measures to reduce wastes or else recycle them.

High volatile organic compounds are one of the prime causes of air pollution in the printing industry. These compounds evaporate very quickly at the room temperature which not only adds to more material consumption but also leads to air pollution. Green printers use low VOC's in their printing processes thus reducing the air emissions and also less material consumption.
Green printers adopt various means to implement the current printing technologies that are eco-friendly. Thus they not only help in reducing environmental pollution but improve the overall quality of the product.
