Reason #1 as Stewart pointed out, it is an improper use of the H1 tag according to w3c and is not semantically correct. #2 Search engines pay attention to issues like #1. Also, by wasting your only h1 tag (Google is only going to pay attention to the first h1) you are seriously crippling how well your website indexes. In actuality, you are telling the search engines that every page on your website is about the name of your company. Each page of a website should focus on different keywords, otherwise the site is competing with itself for the same keywords. This is not a good idea.

Hide it in the Screen CSS and hide the replaced one in the Print CSS. It's better to use a different image for the print version anyway, so you can scale it and have a high resolution one on the print out. Just use a different image for the print version.

In the screen.css you have display: none for that class...in the print.css you have it showing and you hide the replaced text h1.
