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.

In collaboration with manufacturers, printing firm are becoming more environmentally friendly by making use of recycled paper. This form of paper saves the forests because instead of cutting down the trees they recycle the already existing paper to make paper for print. This method of recycling is convenient since the amount of paper available is still substantial.

The use of post consumer papers in prints also makes the general environment cleaner. This is because paper is one of the major pollutants and when used it becomes a resource which is valuable thus scarce which is good for our environment since it will be generally less polluted.

This exercise forms part of our daily lives since a large percentage of our products has to be advertised either by a drawing or by a written form. This makes it very vital for business. Since necessity is the mother of invention businesses have changed their tact; instead of using the traditional mode of writing they have turned to electric printing like the use of electric mail to advertise, the use of short message services in order to convey their messages. These electric systems have helped them cope with the environmentally friendly bandwagon.

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 predecessor days, power was a major concern since it involved the use of massive power amounts due to the heavy machinery used to print and the production of power was highly environmentally unfriendly. The introduction of printers that consume less power has been a huge boost to the environment since there is lower power demands from the printers thus lesser damage to this environment.

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.

Some of the measures taken by the print industry are very vital for the survival of the eco system in place in order for man to co-exist with nature peacefully.
