Greener Alternatives To Printing With Inkjet Cartridges With the digital age changing and evolving how people create, send and receive documents, the need for printing had all but disappeared. Despite the move in major companies and enterprises to shift towards digitizing everything that once existed in paper format – e-mails instead of fax machines, PowerPoint slides instead of posters – printing still remains the medium of choice when creating and distributing certain types of material, whether it's editors who prefer hand-editing articles or a company printing pamphlets to present to prospective clients as a tangible souvenir. In any case, it is highly unlikely that printing will disappear completely no matter how far digital will take things, which means printers, copy machines and the inkjet cartridges that fuel them must remain essential components. The only thing left for change is our printing habit and use of environment-friendly inkjet cartridges that do not produce the toxicity or lasting environmental damage its counterparts have done in the past. Nowadays, companies that use high volumes of inkjet cartridges have opted for greener alternatives for a number of reasons. Other than its obvious benefits to the environment, they are sometimes cheaper and even work better on the recycled paper that companies have also switched to for cost-effectiveness and in support of sustainable material, all without compromising the quality of printing. The research to produce inkjet cartridges that do not contain ink with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals or non-renewable oils, have turned up several possible choices in the ink quality of inkjet cartridges. One of them is vegetable-based inkjet cartridges. An ink cartridge made with ink derived from soy, linseed (also known as flax), tung (Chinawood), castor, canola or safflower is significantly more environmentally conducive and break down better in landfills, which is unfortunately where most inkjet cartridges end up unless one decides to use an vegetable-based ink refill kit to take another step beyond in “greening” inkjet cartridges. As with any revolution, green alternatives to the ink cartridge are still in progress. Soy-based inkjet cartridges experienced some backlash when consumers began noticing a serious drop in quality of the drying and adhesion in using an ink cartridge with soy-based ink. As technology begins to further improve upon greener methods of printing with inkjet cartridges, progress continues into lowering the release of VOCs into the atmosphere and in the recycling of paper, which has been found to recycle even more efficiently through the use of printing in vegetable-based inkjet cartridges. Nevertheless, reducing the habit of printing on paper will always remain the most effective means in “greening” inkjet cartridges. The less that is printed on paper, the less inkjet cartridges are used, reducing the need for extracting toxic and non-renewable elements and chemicals from the Earth. If not, a change in how we design for print could also be another alternative. Consider other ways to design documents before printing: could that pamphlet work just as effectively if using two colors instead of three? Is that high-resolution image necessary to print in such a large size? These are only some of the ways to reduce the harmful impact of inkjet cartridges while encouraging minds to consider creative ways to saving the environment.
