Embarking On Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Tanisha Berg


Making the world a better place is something everyone wants to do. One good way of doing this is by engaging in digital printing that is Eco friendly. One major cause of pollution to the environment is the occurrence of unnecessary waste from industries and factories. All processing plants which exist today pose a threat to the environment when they do not engage in Eco friendly processing activities.

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.

In the past, digital technology had not yet evolved into what it is today. This means that many of the technological advancements which we have today did not exist. In order to print anything, some really primitive machinery or equipment had to be present. The machines would be controlled a handful of people who provided as many hands as possible.

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.

The other industries that heavily rely on affordable and environmental friendly printing methods are the advertising and marketing sectors. Companies and organizations engage in numerous or multiple campaigns and marketing strategies every now and then. One common way of making people aware about something is by making a print of it on paper or fabric.

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.
