DC Printers Switching To Digital Printing, Greener Prints For the Environment

Manufactures of printing material, such as a Virginia printing company, used to have things so simple: come up with new gimmicks once in a while, work on expanding their clientele and produce what they know best.  There were no complex external factors forcing fundamental changes or immediate actions in their operations. 

Whether its digital printing, safety testing or green manufacturing, the print supply chain is shifting as fast as they can to meet new marketing demands; while the going gets tough and maintaining the status quo is always so much easier, not changing is simply not an option for this type of business.

Perhaps the most persistent call, for now, is sustainable manufacturing with far-reaching consequences within the print supply chain.  Essentially, printing is about putting ink on paper, by default not very eco-friendly.  The toners and inks printing consumes the second largest source of carbon black, which is a by-product primarily derived from incomplete combustion of petroleum.  The paper itself comes from deforestation that has caused species’ extinction and global warming.  Behind the scenes, printing involves dyes, solvents, chlorine – for bleaching paper, varnishing in addition to many other hazardous by-products.

DC printers talk about going green and the use of sustainable resources, like reducing the company’s carbon footprint in addition to advocating for environmental stewardship for the better of humanity.  This may sound good but when it is printed out on paper, it’s not very cost-efficient for a printing company to engage in green practices.

An Arlington printing company might choose another way to go green and that is POD – print-on-demand and its bigger subset, digital printing.  In addition to reducing the use of resources through its ability to print in ultra-short runs and as required, digital printing presses typically use non-toxic toners or dry inks and have a much more eco-friendly design that uses less energy as well as parts that are 90 percent reusable.

In the United States alone, more book titles are going to POD.  Reports from 2008 statistics show that a number of revised and new book titles produced by traditional production methods fell off 3 percent to 275,232, while those going for short run or on-demand soared by 132 percent to 285,394.
