Digital Printing Provides Eco-Friendly Benefits

At Precision Disc we know it doesn't really matter how you refer to it - eco-friendly, carbon neutral, environmentally friendly, earth conscious, green, sustainable or other popular catch-phrases as it all revolves around the same thing and being ‘green’ is very much front-of-mind these days.

While all of the the attention on being ‘green’ is very important (and completely overdue in our opinion) beware of the shrewd marketers in the marketplace who are simply trying to cash in on what they see as the latest trend. Due to this it's wise to be a discerning consumer and ask questions.

Digital Printing Instead of Offset Printing
  • We recognize the responsibility we have as a good corporate, community and global citizen so we have invested in the right equipment, processes and materials to provide the types of sustainable and environmentally-friendly printing solutions that the market wants. As a matter of fact, the bulk of the work we produce is printed digitally and for good reason.
     
  • Despite the amount of focus put on the CD DVD duplication and CD DVD manufacturing aspects of what we do, we're also very much a "printing company" as we produce the vast majority of our own print and packaging products ourselves.
     
  • The evolution of digital printing has revolutionized the printing industry. While traditional offset printing is considered an industrial process, digital printing is a computerized process which, by its very nature, is less wasteful and less demanding on resources compared to conventional print. Less waste and less consumption equates to a more environmentally friendly method of printing.
     
  • Digital printing has eliminated many stages of traditional printing that were time, energy and resource-consuming. This includes processes that were accompanied by liquid waste, solid waste and fumes - some of which actually require specialist treatment for disposal. Additionally, digital printing eliminates the use of chemistry for film and plate processing, as well as the substantial waste of materials used in the 'make ready' stage of offset printing.
