The Need For A Shift To Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Anita Ortega


Printing has made life very easy as information can be relayed faster and to more people. The paperwork and time misuse was the case before has since changed. In calculated shift to digital printing that is eco friendly more convenient and workable ways have been discovered, thanks to research. However, the elimination of waste products has remained a nagging problem. It is hard or impossible for most of the items in frequent use to be safely disposed.

The disadvantages aside, great strides have been made as compared with the former years. Lesser energy is now being consumed and the amount of wastes has significantly gone down. The resultant products are also more durable. Rubbishing digital printing is thus not an option. You only need to make it better, more efficient and up-to-date with the ever advancing technology.

What needs a total overhaul is the use of plastic products for wrappings. When these are disposed, they hardly decompose and thus dirty the environment. Instead, it would be better if other materials like paper were used as they can easily be recycled and disposed. Their qualities only need improvement for a longer lasting effect.

A film of oil normally is mixed with electronic ink to create the images. Quality paper is needed for this image to come out neatly and with good resolution. The users can be exposed to great danger if the ink mishandled or misused. This brings the need for ink manufacturers to invent safer brands. Proper ink disposal is also mandatory when need arises. Reusable oil is also preferred for this purpose.

Some mobile substances often are released into the environment when printing progresses. They have electrostatic energy and thus prolonged exposure to them is not advisable. The manufacturers need to ensure their products are at par with environmental regulations. Before being released, there is need to detoxify particles. Researchers can dig deeper into more safety options which are available.

Also to be considered is ozone exposure. However efficient and useful the processes might be, if they pollute and deplete the ozone layer, then they better be avoided. For the printing processes to require ozone exposure, moderation is necessary and at no time should the exposure exceed eight hours. Empty ink cartridges and other additional wastes need to be safely handled. They must be thrown away from the reach of children.

Some printouts find their usage in food service and drug production. If a bad ink is used then consumers might suffer stomach ailments from the toxins. The good news is technology is leading us to dry ink so to speak. It is dry because it contains no liquid. This could end up being cheaper and better as its quality is unrivaled.

Technological interventions should continue. The substances that result therein have to be advantageous to the human race while at the same time maintaining ecological friendliness. These inventor need to beware of pollution effects and avoid them as much as possible.
