Printing is the act of noting down information for reference at a later time. This can be done manually using manual printers or their more advanced counter parts. This is a very useful resource as so much information needs to go into record every day at work. Without a printer this would be very hard to accomplish. There are variable methods of sustainable digital printing putting down of data.

Due to technological advancements, writing moved from the analogous error to the digital one. This kind of jotting is very advantageous to the users. One of the many benefits is speed at work. Digital printing is very fast as compared to analog. It is also very easy to use and quite neat. Advantages such as these have led to the increased of this technology.

This digital printing is usually used professionally in modern businesses. It allows for large-format and high volume production. This also allows for editing of information and images too unlike the others. It is however very costly on a page basis but volumetric production offsets these expenses. It is very convenient as it eliminates the technical procedures and use of plates.

It is basically the putting down of massive quantities of data into paper formats using modern technology. The works done by this kind of jotting down are high resolution and clearer therefore. Image editing has also been made possible courtesy of digital writing. Although this format is very dear for small time printers, it is very economical for massive and continuous production of paper work.

The operation and function of the analog and digital printers are almost similar. However a difference comes in at the part of plate use. Digital printers use the same plate for all the scribbling work while the analog needs frequent replacement. This one factor technically distinguishes the two systems. The rest are advancements and modifications in technology.

A number of ways have been in use to encourage sustainability of energy. These range from the elements used in the printer to the mode of distribution used. One of them is using of the press sheet to the maximum. This prevents wastage of scarce paper resources and ensures sustainability of paper too. Using paper wisely provides for needs of another day.

The use of paper fiber to reduce on the exploitation of trees also is a handy solution. There are other environmentally friendly sources of paper pulp. These can include the straw from crops and other residues from agriculture. Instead of burning these in the open field, they can be processed to offer an alternative. This is a renewable resource and also very friendly to Mother Nature. Burning them only pollutes nature the more.

Also alternative sources of fiber can be used other than the tree. This will reduce the continuous cutting down of trees in order to produce paper for putting down data and other purposes. Alternatives such as use of crop straws are readily available and very friendly with the environment as well. They are crop wastes and were to be disposed of anyway. The coatings and ink can be extracted from vegetables. Vegetable ink is known to serve the purpose and yet its also less toxic to nature.
