Murdza sent me a pretty cool video clip on this hot new company called Zink (which stands for “zero ink”). They introduced this technology where “ink” is essentially embedded into the paper itself. All the printing device does is to manipulate the microscopic ink particles in the paper itself to form the appropriate color compositions for the images being printed.
Pretty freaking cool! In a day and age where inkjet printer inks and bottled water cost more than gasoline, this is a welcome change. It’s good that we’d never run out of ink with this new technology. But then at the same time, consumers are pretty much locked in to this technology, and without competition, its high prices too.
Now I wonder how much the paper costs…
