Digital Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Thelma Kent


With more and more information and images on the internet, many people are choosing to print items off for future reference. However this can be costly, both in terms of money and the materials needed. Below are some ways to keep these costs down with digital printing that is eco friendly so you are kinder to the environment.

Some manufacturers are now producing eco-friendly printers. These may have a specific standby mode, allowing it to run at a lower wattage when idle. They may have certain features enabling them to use ink more efficiently. They may also allow for duplex production on both sides. All of which enable your printer to run longer.

The cost of cartridges is familiar to anyone making regular prints. There are things you can do to be more economical. For instance, you might want to use refilling services, where empty cartridges are refilled, rather than buying newly produced cartridges. Or you may simply use black-and white more regularly to keep the cost of color copies down.

As most of the energy used when making paper goes towards the pulping stage (when wood is turned to paper), using recycled paper really does make a difference to energy consumption. Production of recycled paper has made great advancements, leading to top quality printing results. When choosing paper, also look for signs it comes from sustainably managed sources.

If you have significant amounts to print, then you may want to consider using an external company. Many of these are aware of customer desires for ecological production. Therefore they use processes and materials kind to the environment.

Systems including virtual access mean getting hold your documents remotely is not the problem it once was. So printed copies may not always be necessary. But if you do print, there are now many ways to achieve digital printing that is eco friendly.
