From the primitive painting and drawing on the cave wall by the early man to the current advanced and sophisticated printing method of relying information is the transiting that has taken place though the years. Evolution to an environmental sound method by making it sustainable for both the current and coming generation. Sustainable Digital Printing has taken over such practices making the process more environmentally friendly to the living organisms.

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.

There are three distinct codes that sums up the environmental guidelines and responsibilities. They are :the product which houses the proposals, the resources to be used and the produce output that is directly linked to the industries: the envelop that deal with the place of manufacturing and the support given at that place: the process gives the definite prints before and after the process.

This system offers maximum recycling of waste. By use of vegetable based inks in printing work instead of the common that are petroleum based. This activity lowers consumable waste and boosts energy ratings making it more energy efficient. The harvesting of renewable energy and conservation of scarce resources hence good management of waste materials.

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.

Secondly, consider the use of modular products. The products are easily recycled at the end of their life span but are also easy to repair or update in case of wearing out. This is possible because of the making of custom solution with standardized materials. Making it easy for production and shipment hence lowering the energy consumptions throughout the products life.

One should also consider the size matter and the type. Light fonts are easy to read they are also elegant and are ink friendly compared to bold fonts. Use of lightweight products cut on carbon emission and the cost of shaping. Reducing the paper size by designing small pieces for example cutting an inch off the normal booklet height without compromising its design is a perfect way to manage the size.

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.
