How To Ensure You Practice Sustainable Digital Printing

By Stacey Burt


In the recent past people have become aware of the impacts of environmental degradation. As such there have been measures and attempts to develop products for this purpose. Among them is sustainable digital printing. This started only as a fad but has been growing in strength and influence that promoters and publishers have taken a serious approach to it.

Digital printing can be expressed as the transfer of a digitalized media from a storage device directly into various forms of media directly. This process has eliminated the need for rudimentary extras such as printing plates, repulsive oils and the rubber blankets used in the older lithographic and letterpress systems such as offset printing.

Sustainable Green printing has emerged as a trend where more and more people are taking up using ecologically friendly materials in their printing jobs. Companies have reacted to this need an there has been production of better printing stationery as well as printers which use laser jets and ink jets which have proven to be more Eco-friendly.

People are continuously undertaking to preserve the environment. The various companies in digital print are also feeling the need to follow suit and design products that would auger well with their clients. Some of the initial steps most have taken is changing to production methods that use recycled, biodegradable and renewable materials such as recycled paper and vegetable inks.

Another undertaking by people who support the digital migration of printing patterns and methods is the new trend of designing, making and using less paper. This is determined in terms of the size and weight of the paper. Designers have discovered that trimming a small portion of the paper in the average book would save up to 1000 sheets.

Package design has also evolved and is now moving towards Eco friendliness and sustainability. They have adopted new printing and packaging designs that are both functional in multiple ways and reusable. This form of packaging can be re-purposed for other uses such as creating chairs, pet houses, and light bulb holders among other uses.

The digital printing field has borrowed a leaf from their engineering and architectural counterparts and adopted their own version of modular building. They have adopted it as modular design. Modular design is involved in creation of customized solutions with standardized and prefabricated materials which are easy to repair and update as well as recycle.

Fonts have also, in the recent past been playing a more important role not only in design but in Eco friendliness as well. Designers are not only choosing fonts based on their elegance and visual appeal only. They are now looking at its efficiency in terms of ink consumption.

Digital printing is a relatively new concept. However it has taken pace and is turning heads as it is continuously and being progressively adopted by individuals and companies alike. This simple concept which started only as a trend by environmentally conscious people has developed from a simple fad to a concept relied on by marketers to brand their products as Green.
