Printing has made life very easy as information can be relayed faster and to more people. The paperwork and time misuse was the case before has since changed. In calculated shift to digital printing that is eco friendly more convenient and workable ways have been discovered, thanks to research. However, the elimination of waste products has remained a nagging problem. It is hard or impossible for most of the items in frequent use to be safely disposed.

The disadvantages aside, great strides have been made as compared with the former years. Lesser energy is now being consumed and the amount of wastes has significantly gone down. The resultant products are also more durable. Rubbishing digital printing is thus not an option. You only need to make it better, more efficient and up-to-date with the ever advancing technology.

Use of non plastic or low plastic storage devices should be discouraged. They normally form a heap when disposed and the thought of them being unable to decompose is a disturbing one. Their packaging should also be done using paper, wood or other products known for easily decomposing. They ought to stay long enough to avoid the pain of having to think of replacing the frequently.

For the image to be formed on paper, an oil film mixes with an electronic ink. This mixture is in a calculated proportion and it determines the image quality. Caution should be taken to use easily disposable ink and those known for being harmless to the users. Tests should be conducted before disposal to determine the possible environmental impact. Also use oil of good quality which can work more than once.

Some mobile substances often are released into the environment when printing progresses. They have electrostatic energy and thus prolonged exposure to them is not advisable. The manufacturers need to ensure their products are at par with environmental regulations. Before being released, there is need to detoxify particles. Researchers can dig deeper into more safety options which are available.

Also to be considered is ozone exposure. However efficient and useful the processes might be, if they pollute and deplete the ozone layer, then they better be avoided. For the printing processes to require ozone exposure, moderation is necessary and at no time should the exposure exceed eight hours. Empty ink cartridges and other additional wastes need to be safely handled. They must be thrown away from the reach of children.

It is also important to consider the type of ink used previously. It should be non poisonous as the printouts can at times be used for wrapping dugs and edibles. Ingesting such exposes the users to untold harm. There have been recent innovations that use anhydrous ink. This is quite encouraging as it cuts down the cost which could have gone to water. The products are also safer, longer lasting and more appealing.

Technology has done well to make this possible. However, it should even do better by creating products known for both being useful and compliant with the need to preserve nature. Companies recognized for designing products for this industry should work round the clock to avoid pollution in any form.
