By Dominique Martin


There is a rising need of protecting what belongs to us. If there is anything that is worth being protected in this life, is the environment you live in. This is because it is priceless and any dangers you expose it to will have negative results sooner or later. Some of the environmental conditions that people are trying to cure nowadays are as a results of what humankind did to the environment. These effects are very hard if not impossible to correct them, thus spending a lot of time and money in the efforts. Brochure printing though overlooked is one of the practices that can trigger such effects. The best thing to do nowadays is to adapt brochure printing that is eco friendly.

There are numerous effects that are caused as a result of using traditional methods of prin. For this reason, there are other methods which can be put in place to ensure less paper is used in the offices. Such methods include using of email services, short messaging services or even using phone calls, instead of papers. This has so far proven to be sustainable. However, there is still usage of papers which is inevitable.

There are quite a number of disadvantages that are associated in this procedure, to start with it uses quite a lot of energy. Printing lots of papers in a given day means that much energy is being spent because of energy consuming printers. Papers on the other hand come from trees, which mean that the process favors deforestation.

Another dark side of this activity is the process, especially traditional one leads to the emission of VOC, which means volatile organic compounds to the air. The effects of these compounds on the environment are far and reaching. It is these compounds in the air which causes a lot of diseases ranging from skin to respiratory diseases.

Other tips for ecofriendly print includes printing your brochure on a back to back manner thereby making sure that you utilize the surfaces of the paper. Expanding the margins of the document can also ensure you use less paper on a given day. Always recycle your papers.

Initially, workers at these companies could be unknowingly subjected to lots of VOC, volatile organic compounds while in their day to day work. This could have an adverse effect on their health. Inhaling these compounds could lead to kidney, lung and general respiratory problems. However due to the enlightenment and introduction of environmentally friendly print these problems are now a thing of the past. Nowadays these businesses have an expanded fan base.

Formerly, print of these brochures and other papers could entail the use of large volumes of water and alcohol. This is not the case nowadays due to the introduction of waterless offset printing. The quality produced is much better and lots of water is saved on a given day.

Another change that has happened in this sector is the phasing out of water and alcohol printing, with the waterless printing. Research has shown the quality of brochures is much better than the conventional offset printing, little or no volatile organic compounds and large amounts of water is saved.
