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 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.

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.

As opposed to predecessor days where all prints had to be printed and aired in dark rooms the current technology allows us to have less bulky printers which use a very little mount of chemical content. This in turn saves the environment a huge drain since the chemicals were not friendly as they helped in wearing away of minerals and a material available.

Most machines that were used in the early stages of invention of the printer were bulky and used a substantial amount of energy. The energy used was really expensive to produce and it involved a taxing task to the environment. The replacement of this machines with less bulky, more energy saving and faster printers lead to a huge reprieve on the environment. This is because they consume less energy thus saving more of the eco system.

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.
