Methods Of 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.

Over the years this activity has evolved, right now digital scribbling is the new technology on the block. It is very fast, convenient and readily available. Transfer of digitally printed is also very easy. Digital writing can be explained as a way of putting information into writing by use of digital-based picture to a number of media.

This technology is only best when used for large scale print production purposes. It is serves a multitude of other services like distribution to this media. Production of clear images was also made possible using this technology. Digital printing has revolutionized the writing of information in ways never thought possible before.

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.

A number of ways have been in use to encourage sustainability of energy. These range from the elements used in the printer to the mode of distribution used. One of them is using of the press sheet to the maximum. This prevents wastage of scarce paper resources and ensures sustainability of paper too. Using paper wisely provides for needs of another day.

The use of paper fiber to reduce on the exploitation of trees also is a handy solution. There are other environmentally friendly sources of paper pulp. These can include the straw from crops and other residues from agriculture. Instead of burning these in the open field, they can be processed to offer an alternative. This is a renewable resource and also very friendly to Mother Nature. Burning them only pollutes nature the more.

Use of non-toxic materials for the ink and coatings can also be another solution. Vegetable- based inks are readily available as options. These are highly effective and less toxic in nature. Supporting local dealers can also be a viable solution as it reduces the use of locomotive to transport material. This also favors conservation of nature. Other solutions are in place but only a few will be discussed here.
