Think and Act Green with Online Printing

Category: Office Products

Think and act green with online printing. Forget about paper-wasting companies like Kinkos. Printing online is cheaper, faster, and better for the environment.

By now it has become evident how much damage we have caused to the environment in which we all live, and that it is the responsibility of every one of us, individual or business, to contain any further damage. Business definitely has a social responsibility to think green wherever possible. We will examine how green practices are possible when dealing with the printing requirements of business.
Here are some tips on how to go green with online printing and be regarded as a socially responsible citizen:

Use recycled paper: one of the biggest yet easiest ways is to use 100 percent recycled paper for as many of your printing jobs as possible. A number of responsible online printers will offer you high-quality recycled paper that will in no way diminish the quality of your printing. Use this for all your routine printing requirements. A slightly better quality printing for material such as brochures or business cards can be achieved by using recycled matte paper. You may wish to insert a sentence in all customer material saying that it is printed on 100 percent recycled paper so that your customers realize that you are fulfilling your social obligations.

Use inks based on soy: find an online printer who uses soy-based inks rather than the traditional printing inks which are derived from petroleum. Some petroleum-based inks can give out volatile organic chemicals that contribute to the pollution. Soy-based inks also have the benefit of providing far better and striking colors.

Print on both sides of the paper: wherever you can, use both sides of the paper for printing to cut down both on waste and your expenses. You can potentially reduce both your consumption and the expense on paper by half.

Recycle all paper waste: an environmentally responsible online printer will recycle all paper waste that he produces. Printers can generate tons of waste and all you do is add to the trash of the world if you simply throw it away.
