Methods Of Accomplishing Brochure Printing That Is Eco Friendly

By Bertha Sanders


Currently there is scarcity of various natural resources. Therefore it is not uncommon to find products and services which have a conservation element. Green based processes are becoming a house hold name in many areas. This has to do with incorporating standards in every process to ensure that it is of benefit to the environment. Practically any process can be made environmentally friendly. This may include brochure printing that is eco friendly.

General printing is accomplished through a number of steps. Presently such a process mainly depends on equipment which is electrically powered. The ink and papers used are also derived from material found within the environment. The process itself will also be handled in such a way as to reduce or eliminate wastage. Combining all these things must provide the sum effect which is capable of conserving the ecosystem.

Today it is not uncommon to find printer equipment which has been recycled or one which is made of recyclable material. This also includes the computer together with the peripherals which are also refurbished. The power consumption features for such machines have been adjusted to conserve power while they are operating. As such energy conservation is attained even when such equipments are in use.

Generally paper is a by product from the paper tree which is naturally grown. As such paper production is one of those processes which affects the environment. Therefore manufacturers of paper are involved in massive reforestation efforts. As such these companies are required to sustain the forests where they get their raw materials and this is achieved by consistent tree planting and use of early maturing species.

In this way paper production is considered a conservation process. Although paper can also be derived from other products such a process may not adequately sustain the current commercial needs. Therefore the most desirable raw material source remains the paper tree forests. Therefore this paper tree forests must be expanded in their acreage in order to sustain this production.

Apart from the paper the inks used are chemical based. In fact most of them were lead based before the toxic effects of this compound to the environment were discovered. Therefore presently lead based inks manufacture has been stopped and a replacement including environmental friendly alternatives is now being used. This has considerably reduced the risk of contamination to the environment.

Companies are now producing recyclable paper to reduce the dependence on the paper tree. This is likely to enhance the conservation efforts. In order to produce print outs a number of basic guidelines are essential to accomplish such preservation. Software utilities are now available in the word processor and graphic design packages to assist the designer to manage their printout and economize on paper use.

Generally the work must be properly designed and verified while it is still on soft copy. Once page use has been approved the brochure printing that is eco friendly can be accomplished. This of course entails a number of issues which relates to the process materials and equipment used. Each of these items must have a conservation aspect which can be pursued.
