Ways Of Achieving Sustainable Digital Printing

By Karina Frost


Printing is the act of noting down information for reference at a later time. This can be done manually using manual printers or their more advanced counter parts. This is a very useful resource as so much information needs to go into record every day at work. Without a printer this would be very hard to accomplish. There are variable methods of sustainable digital printing putting down of data.

Due to technological advancements, writing moved from the analogous error to the digital one. This kind of jotting is very advantageous to the users. One of the many benefits is speed at work. Digital printing is very fast as compared to analog. It is also very easy to use and quite neat. Advantages such as these have led to the increased of this technology.

This digital printing is usually used professionally in modern businesses. It allows for large-format and high volume production. This also allows for editing of information and images too unlike the others. It is however very costly on a page basis but volumetric production offsets these expenses. It is very convenient as it eliminates the technical procedures and use of plates.

This technology highly favors large companies with a lot of paperwork to be done simultaneously. It offers high quality work with very clear imprints. The resolution offered is superb. Images can be revised and modified in order to meet the requirements of the client. Smaller firms however cannot afford this technology as it could be very expensive for them to use.

The two systems of printing are almost similar in nature expect for a few elements. The biggest difference between the two is that one requires continuous changing of plates unlike the other. Digital kind does not require plate shifting at all. The laser printer is a good example of the digital printer.

Sustainability is the ability to maintain the supply of a material constantly. This means that there should be a way to replenish the material even with the constant use. Sustainable writing on the other hand requires engaging in activities that favor the well-being of the universe as opposed to others. This is not simple since the other option usually seems easier and readily available.

The ways to accomplish this are very simple and easily carried out. First and foremost there should be use of easily renewable material for paper manufacture. Crop straws and other stalk remains offer a good solution to this. These can produce very good paper effectively. Instead of burning them and punishing nature even more, they can be processed for paper pulp. This will rescue the much needed trees from exploitation.

Also alternative sources of fiber can be used other than the tree. This will reduce the continuous cutting down of trees in order to produce paper for putting down data and other purposes. Alternatives such as use of crop straws are readily available and very friendly with the environment as well. They are crop wastes and were to be disposed of anyway. The coatings and ink can be extracted from vegetables. Vegetable ink is known to serve the purpose and yet its also less toxic to nature.
