Creating A Sustainable Digital Printing World

By Christa Jarvis


Through the ages the processes in which man conveys information has over time evolved from the primitive painting and drawing on cave walls to the advanced and sophisticated detailed printing. This new type of medium incorporates environmentally friendly strategies to guarantee a desirable green world by it being made sustainable. It strives to meet the need of our current generation without compromising the need of the future generation. This has been made possible through sustainable digital printing.

This new system importance is that, because sustainability requires continuous and complex processes then it will require joint input from all department in the manufacturing industry. This will create an interdependence form between industries. The manufacturing industries will then be competitive while on the other hand employing the green technology.

The system has codes that assist in achieving the vision of the project. They are; the envelope- deals with support or the preservation of the undertakings at the manufacturing industries, basically the upkeep practices. The product a collection of the proposals, the resources used and the produce output that is channeled to the industries. The process- handles the making of prints before and after the process. Environmental guidelines are derived from this.

There is harvesting of renewable energy from its harbors and conservation of the scare resources hence leading to a drastic reduction of waste materials. There is maximum recycling. This is achieved by using of environmentally friendly vegetable based inks in printing presses, these do not have petroleum based ingredients . This process lowers ink and consumable wastage and better energy ratings thus more energy efficiency.

In the quest to keep this process sustainable, many ideas have been put up. These ideas include, choosing to use renewable, biodegradable materials. They form a very important part of this project. One might consider using vegetable based inks which are clearly free from petroleum and other heavy metals. This makes production be fair and safe.

making custom solution s with standardized materials :making it modular is also a way that one could be able to make this process sustainable . This process gives yields to products that are easy to recycle and are even easy to repair thus the products last long . They also make manufacturing efficient same to shipping hence save energy and costs.

The other factor to put into consideration is the size matter. This could be archived by reducing the use of paper by designing smaller pieces e. G. Cutting off an inch off the booklet height without compromising the integrity of the design. Use of lightweight products reduces carbon emission and also eases the cost of shipping. The type of font should also be considered, light font are not only easy to read and elegant but are also ink efficient compared to bold fonts.

This strive to achieve a green environment is a task to all people from all works of life because if anything happens it will definitely affects us who are living on earth. In every action we do to create an environmentally friendly world, we should be proud of it because it will go along way in making a better place for our children and other generations.
