Tips On Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Lelia Hall


Print media has always been a vital form of communication for humans; ever since man could remember, they have always communicated some through speech but a vital percentage through writing. In the early days man drew which in turn slowly evolved to be the current printing that we know. All forms of prints have always been a vital tool to hand down the later generation their history and that is how a huge portion of the history we know was maintained. And this article mainly focuses on making digital printing that is eco friendly.

Part of the developments that came into existence in order to meet the environmental needs was the use of recycled paper as a raw material in line with the development of eco friendly needs. The use of recycled paper is necessary since it makes the world cleaner and safer for our generation and the generations to come.

The amount of paper available for reuse is in so much quantity for reuse such that it litters the environment. The recycling of these papers is an advantage to the manufacturers, printers and also the public in general. This is because the manufacturers will have a readily available raw material that is eco-friendly which will make printing cheaper and also eco friendlier. To the public there will be less litter to stumble upon in form of paper.

For many firms in order to meet the demand to be more environmentally friendly, they have turned to using the technology. They have embraced the use of electronic prints like emails instead of letters and the use of televised adverts instead of printed material. This has in turn led to a safer and cleaner environment due to this reduction.

Unlike old days whereby this exercise involved use of a dark room, a lot of bleach and ink and a bulky screen which were really taxing; things have changed for the better. Bleach and dye were one of the byproducts of the old systems. Currently systems have changed it involves using printers that absorb all the byproducts and reuse them and in some cases bleach is not used at all. This method saves the environment by a large percentage.

In the early days the amount of power that was used in printing was quite an amount and the production of energy had a denting impact on environment. The development in technology of printers saved the eco system a huge task since the new age printers use a minimal energy thus a saving the environment a dent because the production of the power in case it was during the old error would have had a harder impact on it.

The amount of ink used in the printing industry cannot be overlooked. This is because it is substantial and ink is basically composed of chemicals. A reduction in the amount of ink used in the print industry and an increase in its quality are among the measures taken to make the sector eco-friendly since it will be of less damage to the environment.

The print industry plays a major role in stabilizing the environment since they are directly involved in either building or destroying it through their actions. This makes them among the key players in the future of our eco system.
