Ways Of Achieving Sustainable Digital Printing

By Karina Frost


Printing is the act of noting down information for reference at a later time. This can be done manually using manual printers or their more advanced counter parts. This is a very useful resource as so much information needs to go into record every day at work. Without a printer this would be very hard to accomplish. There are variable methods of sustainable digital printing putting down of data.

Due to technological advancements, writing moved from the analogous error to the digital one. This kind of jotting is very advantageous to the users. One of the many benefits is speed at work. Digital printing is very fast as compared to analog. It is also very easy to use and quite neat. Advantages such as these have led to the increased of this technology.

This technology is only best when used for large scale print production purposes. It is serves a multitude of other services like distribution to this media. Production of clear images was also made possible using this technology. Digital printing has revolutionized the writing of information in ways never thought possible before.

This technology highly favors large companies with a lot of paperwork to be done simultaneously. It offers high quality work with very clear imprints. The resolution offered is superb. Images can be revised and modified in order to meet the requirements of the client. Smaller firms however cannot afford this technology as it could be very expensive for them to use.

The two systems of printing are almost similar in nature expect for a few elements. The biggest difference between the two is that one requires continuous changing of plates unlike the other. Digital kind does not require plate shifting at all. The laser printer is a good example of the digital printer.

Sustainability on the other hand advocates for frugal use of resources. This is as a resource is being utilized there should be a way to return it into nature so that there is more for future use. Modern technology is not the best with this. It usually only caters for the utility part and ignores sustainability. Therefore, digital writing needs to achieve this aspect in order to be complete.

The ways to accomplish this are very simple and easily carried out. First and foremost there should be use of easily renewable material for paper manufacture. Crop straws and other stalk remains offer a good solution to this. These can produce very good paper effectively. Instead of burning them and punishing nature even more, they can be processed for paper pulp. This will rescue the much needed trees from exploitation.

The writing substances used in printers are chemical compounds and could be highly toxic in nature. More economically viable options that are also good for nature can be provided. For instance ink and coating can be effectively extracted from vegetables. These are very toxic free and highly renewable readily from nature. Use of this vegetable ink can eliminate the chemical use and all its harmful ways.
