The Benefits Of Sustainable Digital Printing

By Imelda Reid


Since medieval times the processes through which man has conveyed information has gradually undergone a systematic evolution, from primitive drawings on wall caves and stone tablets to the more advanced, sophisticated and detailed printouts. Sustainability is a holistic approach that meets the needs of the current generation without compromising the needs of the future generation. Sustainable digital printing is a new approach that incorporates environmentally sound methods to ensure a green world.

Even with the expansion in demand a well-guarded and ecological approach particularly when printing resulting from supply consumption and energy maintenance. Printing can be executed in a way that meets the needs of the current groups while putting into consideration the requirements of the forthcoming populations. Not only do these engagements add to resource maintenance but they also play a key role in reduction of waste, control pollution and conserve energy.

Sustainability does not refer to a single list of actions but it is rather a complex and continuous processes that requires a joint input of all the departments in a manufacturing industry. Hence for manufacturing industries to be able to stay competitive while still employing green technology the approach needs to be systematic and systemic.

Systematic entails employing the green technical knowledge in a defined system with the other units in the industry. This green scientific know-how has to be introduced to the system in a manner that it does not create any technical difficulties with the current units in the industry. The green scientific know how has to be incorporated in every department rendering it systemic.

There are three main principle concepts that are involved in sustainable printing. The product, process and Envelope are crucial concepts that should be addressed in any green system. The product includes the design, the fate of the products and the raw materials that were involved in production process. The process is the actual production process entailing the production of preprints, the actual prints and the post prints.

The envelope refers to the maintenance undertakings that occur at manufacturing industry like the workers who are under employment by the company, the contiguous edifices, the conveyance undertakings and the upkeep practices. The focal principles theories form a parameter through which the green obligation and dogmas that are recognized and built around the various numerous vital components.

The elements include maximizing recycling opportunities. The other elements include the harvesting of renewable energy from its sources and the conservation of scarce resources resulting in the reduction of waste. These may be achieved through the use of environmental friendly vegetable based inks on printing presses, which do not have any petroleum base emulsions, lower ink and consumable wastage, less make-ready paper waste and better energy ratings thus more energy efficiency.

Moreover, boosting of the media sheets can be engaged to cause a reduction by appropriate by placing several fragments onto a huge portion of paper. The fiber should be Eco-friendly material that originates from vegetables rather than trees from the remains of food that have not been eaten, It is also ideally for production of pulp and the reprocessing of waste water that is used by the imaging machine.
