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.

Increasing the margins of a page will help you put more information in one page. The information to be printed will be written in less pages allowing one to save on papers. Saving the amount of paper will translate to saving the number of trees required in the paper factory. One also cuts down on the cost used to purchase paper.

One should also work with the local vendors and suppliers of printing products. It will save the environment by preventing the release of the harmful gases from the vehicles that are used in transportation of these products. Local vendors might turn out to be cheaper as transportation is known to increase costs.

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.

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.

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.
