Saving and protecting the environment today, is now part of our daily activities. One engages himself in practices which will aid in saving the environment and also uses products that do the same. This is also evident in the printing world. Digital printing that is eco friendly is done in a number of ways and also using a number of products. It is beneficial to you because it is cheaper and also reduces pollution to the environment.

One is printing on the two sided of the paper. This will reduce the amount of paper used and money spent on paper by 50 percent. One will protect the surroundings since less trees will be cut down to make paper and this will increase the amount of fresh air. One will even sleep better knowing he or she made a change to the world and in the process saved some money as well.

The font one uses greatly contributes to the amount of ink used. The fonts containing serifs, boldness and a lot of decoration require more ink while printing. It is necessary to make your work simple so that less ink is consumed. When less ink is used there are less empty cartridges to pollute the environment. Fonts should not be underestimated. They are worth considering.

Expanding the margins of a document will let you fit more text in a page. This will help you in reducing the number of printed pages making the information look less than it actually seems. The information will take up less paper which will save the environment and at the same time save your money.

Setting up your printing services closer to your supplier will also avoid problems to the individual and the environment. The vehicles, trains and planes used in transportation of supplies, pollute the surrounding through production of toxic fumes. Being closer to your supplier or working with a local vendor means pollution will be reduced. One will also get cheaper services because transportation of goods is known to make them expensive.

Recycling is the most common of all green practices. To protect the environment, instead of throwing away the empty ink cartridges one can recycle them. One can also collect the empty cartridges and drop them off at an ink cartridge recycling center. If they are thrown away, the toxic chemicals used to make the ink becomes harmful when exposed to the environment.

Eco friendly products should also be used. They are affordable and are used in place of the traditional inks and additives that were harmful to our environment.

One of them is ecofriendly inks. They are made from non-toxic elements that cannot harm the surroundings. Some of them do not require heat to cure and some do not produce too much emissions while they are drying. Such inks are good because they will help one protect others and the environment at large.

Saving and protecting our environment can be helped a lot by taking in to consideration the concept of cleaner production. Our trees do not have to be extinct in a few generations to come. We should save them in every way we can.
