Embarking On Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Tanisha Berg


Digital technology is improving and evolving each and every day. Advancements in technology used in the printing industry have led to the innovation of digital printing that is Eco friendly. These techniques are known to be quite environmental friendly and do not cause considerable harm to nature. The world we are currently living in needs to be preserved and protected at all cost.

The art of printing has come a long way since time immemorial. From the ages of analog print methods to the current age of digital print methods, outstanding technological advancements have been made in the subject field. Not so long ago, people in the subject industry were using screen offsets and heat presses to print on paper and fabric.

Digital printing is the act of using very minimal or even no form of paper screen for laying ink on paper or fabric. In the past, printers would make use of a ton of paper just to print one end product. This is considered as waste in the subject industry and it is not acceptable by any means. Analog print methods are quite time consuming to say the least.

This age and time was characterized by time consuming industrial process such as the one above. Printers did not have a lot of options to choose from and they did their work with what they had in the best way they could. The main method back then was called offset printing which mainly used screen and heat presses to transfer ink on to a certain medium.

Printing has a wide range of applications which cannot be listed all at once. This art is used to pass messages and information from one person to another. Without this phenomenon, writing on paper using machines would not even be possible. This means that conveying information and facts from one person to another would be hectic and quite challenging.

Trees are being chopped down every day in various parts of the world for the sole purpose of being minted into rolls of paper. These rolls of paper are to be used for printing a wide range of things such as banners for advertisements, fliers, brochures, posters and so many other miscellaneous items. All of these products end up as waste material at the end of the day.

Advertise in most cases requires the use of posters and fliers which can be passed on to people or disseminated easily in public. Banners and flags are also another effective marketing technique that is used by organizations as an Eco friendly way of symbolizing a unit or a body. The uses and applications of digital modes of print are quite endless and limitless.

Use of ink which is environmental friendly is also very important. Some people may down play this fact but there are quite a number of ink brands that are known to be very pollutant to the environment and this is not a good thing at all.
