Digital printing is an environmentally-friendly alternative to emailing. Although emailing is often seen as an environmentally friendly option, there are a number of advantages to digital printing that can make it more environmentally friendly. Our digital printing studio in Brussels uses polymerised toners, which are more environmentally friendly than the solvents used in traditional printing.
What’s more, digital printing uses less energy than emailing. The email servers used to send emailings consume a significant amount of energy, and this consumption can increase considerably when a large number of emails are sent. Digital printing, on the other hand, uses less energy overall and offers great flexibility in terms of personalisation, which means less waste.
Companies can modify prints to suit specific needs, avoiding the waste associated with printing a stock of prints that is not used. Finally, digital printing allows for better waste management. The materials used in digital printing, such as paper and machine parts, are recyclable, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of this printing technique.
In comparison, emailing has a greater environmental impact than it might seem, due to the energy consumption required to send it, the use of email servers, bandwidth consumption, and the manufacture and production of waste associated with computers and smartphones.
In conclusion, digital printing is an ecological alternative that is as environmentally friendly as sending emailings. It reduces energy consumption, waste production and the use of harmful chemicals. By choosing digital printing, businesses can help to reduce their carbon footprint while offering greater personalisation and stock management for their printing.
