Tips On Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Lelia Hall


For as long as man could read there has always been some printing going on. Printing can be traced back to the hieroglyphics age where man used to draw on stone to communicate and record memoirs in caves. This type of prints basically involved a paint brush a dye and a surface where one could print. This eventually changed when man started printing their messages on script then this method eventually changed to modern day prints. With the modern day concern about the environment, it has lead to the apprising of 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 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 cannot be ignored this is because it makes the writing visible. A reduction in the amount of ink used in printing has also proved to be a very eco friendly move since less chemicals are used.

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.
