Making Use Of Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Janine Hughes


Eco friendly printing has an objective of protecting the surrounding through the practices and the products that will help in saving our trees. This does not only help the environment, but it also helps us. Digital printing that is eco friendly is very affordable hence making it a better option in every way. There are a number of practices that one can indulge in while considering the protection of the environment.

One of the green practices is duplex printing. Choosing to print on both sides of the paper will cut off your paper expenses into half. One is not required to buy an automatic duplex printer since a lot of inkjet and laser printers can do this manually. It may take more time but one can sleep better knowing he or she has saved some money. Using less paper will mean less trees are cut down and more oxygen present in the air.

The font one chooses to use in a certain document is very important. Some fonts will require more ink than others. Fonts with serifs, many decorations and boldness consume more ink than simple plain fonts. When one uses less ink, the amount of ink purchased will decrease. This will reduce the number of empty cartridges found in the environment.

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.

Another practice is setting up a publishing service closer to the suppliers or working along with the local vendors. This will mean the environment will be saved from the fumes produced by the locomotives while travelling long distances to supply products. It will also make services cheaper since transportation increases the costs of products.

Recycling is a very common concept which is almost practiced in every field. One should not throw away empty cartridges. Instead, any individual should collect them for some months and forward them to a recycling center where they can be reused for the same or different purpose. The empty cartridges are known to have harmful effects to the environment through the residues of toxic chemicals used to make ink.

In addition to practicing the above, one should also invest in environmental friendly printing products. The traditional inks, printer cleaners and additives have adverse effects to the environment. As we move towards a digital world, we need to move away from our traditional methods. There are a number of ecofriendly products in the market today.

Eco friendly inks will include those requiring no heat for curing, do not release excessive emissions to the air when they dry and those made from non-toxic chemicals. This will help one to protect themselves, others and the environment at large.

We can save the world in many ways through eco friendly production. It is an alternative which we should all consider for it is cheap, affordable and most of all it promotes a healthier environment.
