ink less printer

Written by: Thianh Lu on April 25th, 2009

inklessprinterI came across this neat new technology from Zink Imaging that has essentially eliminated the need for ink cartridges.  We all go thru that painful cycle of not wanting to go out and buy new ink while our printers slowly churn out unreadable copies of spotted ink.  Zink is neat in that the ink is actually embedded in the paper while the printer uses special heat sensors to heat up the crystals in the ink to bring the color to life.

It is especially useful in mobile printers as it greatly reduces the size and weight.  The printer shown here is produced by Dell by licensing Zink technology.
