Print media has always been a vital form of communication for humans; ever since man could remember, they have always communicated some through speech but a vital percentage through writing. In the early days man drew which in turn slowly evolved to be the current printing that we know. All forms of prints have always been a vital tool to hand down the later generation their history and that is how a huge portion of the history we know was maintained. And this article mainly focuses on making digital printing that is eco friendly.

Part of the developments that came into existence in order to meet the environmental needs was the use of recycled paper as a raw material in line with the development of eco friendly needs. The use of recycled paper is necessary since it makes the world cleaner and safer for our generation and the generations to come.

Post consumer paper is one of the biggest benefits for all parties concerned with the environment this is because for the manufacturers it means cheaper raw materials for the printing firms it means cheaper paper and for the public in general it means a much more cleaner environment since a huge percentage of the litter is composed of paper and without the paper it means a cleaner environment for all.

This exercise forms part of our daily lives since a large percentage of our products has to be advertised either by a drawing or by a written form. This makes it very vital for business. Since necessity is the mother of invention businesses have changed their tact; instead of using the traditional mode of writing they have turned to electric printing like the use of electric mail to advertise, the use of short message services in order to convey their messages. These electric systems have helped them cope with the environmentally friendly bandwagon.

The process of manufacturing paper is highly dependent on chemicals since the raw material is wood and chlorine. A reduction in manufacturing of paper proportionately leads to a reduction in levels of chemicals emitted into the atmosphere. The amount of chemicals required to print if reduced also makes printing more eco friendly.

Most machines that were used in the early stages of invention of the printer were bulky and used a substantial amount of energy. The energy used was really expensive to produce and it involved a taxing task to the environment. The replacement of this machines with less bulky, more energy saving and faster printers lead to a huge reprieve on the environment. This is because they consume less energy thus saving more of the eco system.

The amount of ink used in the printing industry cannot be overlooked. This is because it is substantial and ink is basically composed of chemicals. A reduction in the amount of ink used in the print industry and an increase in its quality are among the measures taken to make the sector eco-friendly since it will be of less damage to the environment.

The print industry plays a major role in stabilizing the environment since they are directly involved in either building or destroying it through their actions. This makes them among the key players in the future of our eco system.
