Zink (zero ink), the Massachusetts-based company has announced the development of a printer, which is so small enough that can go in your pocket. This pocker-sized printer would be able to print small images, 2- x 3-inch, in color and offer ink-free printing. It’d be able to print your pics without a single drop of ink, which would likely make some ink producers out of business. How would it do that?
Images are created when a heated printer head comes into contact with a sheet of specialized paper, which is actually a polymer containing three crystalline layers. Varying temperatures and pressure points create the pixels of color, and just in case you figure out your latest printout doesn’t showcase your eye color as well as you’d hoped, it’s recyclable
The company’s first products will likely be $99 standalone pocket printer or $199 camera / printer hybrid, while the snazzy paper will run you $19.95 for a pack of one hundred.
