Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly Will Save Our World

By Janine Hughes


Saving and protecting the environment today, is now part of our daily activities. One engages himself in practices which will aid in saving the environment and also uses products that do the same. This is also evident in the printing world. Digital printing that is eco friendly is done in a number of ways and also using a number of products. It is beneficial to you because it is cheaper and also reduces pollution to the environment.

Duplex printing is one of the practices of protecting the environment. It involves printing a document on both sides of the paper instead of printing on one side only. In so doing, one uses less paper. This will help you save the amount of paper used and the money spent in purchasing these sheets by fifty percent. In the same way, more trees will be saved since there is less paper demand by the public. The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere also increases.

Choice of font is also an important aspect of saving the environment. There are fonts which uses more printer ink. They include those that are bolded, have serifs and are highly decorated. They simpler the font, the less ink it consumes. In the long run, one will have to buy less ink cartridges for their business or offices. It may seem like such a small thing to consider but it counts.

Expanding the margins of a document will let you fit more text in a page. This will help you in reducing the number of printed pages making the information look less than it actually seems. The information will take up less paper which will save the environment and at the same time save your money.

Setting up your printing services closer to your supplier will also avoid problems to the individual and the environment. The vehicles, trains and planes used in transportation of supplies, pollute the surrounding through production of toxic fumes. Being closer to your supplier or working with a local vendor means pollution will be reduced. One will also get cheaper services because transportation of goods is known to make them expensive.

Recycling is the most common of all green practices. To protect the environment, instead of throwing away the empty ink cartridges one can recycle them. One can also collect the empty cartridges and drop them off at an ink cartridge recycling center. If they are thrown away, the toxic chemicals used to make the ink becomes harmful when exposed to the environment.

Eco friendly products should also be used. They are affordable and are used in place of the traditional inks and additives that were harmful to our environment.

The environmental friendly inks do not use heat for the curing process. They are made from elements that are not toxic and also do not release harmful fumes to the environment. They are cheap and are much better than the other traditional inks which cause harm to the surroundings.

Accepting the cleaner production concept will help us save our trees from extinction. It will save more money as it is very affordable and help us create a world that is safe. We should always keep in mind that we are part of the environment and the harm we do to it will be reversed to affect to affect humans in future.
