Inkless Printing

Printing is on its way to be revolutionized and how! ZINK is a breakthrough technology which promises to utilize zero ink, yes NO ink at all! It generates the required color images and photos without using ink, ribbons or toner! The ZINK technology enables a new category of color printers and paper that work as an integrated system to print with a unique technique. The key to this process is the patented ZINK paper, an advanced composite material with dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside. Before printing, the embedded dye crystals are colorless, so ZINK paper looks like regular white photo paper.

The ZINK printer uses heat to activate and colorize these dye crystals. The printing process is now radically simple. Just add paper and press "print". The result is high quality, long-lasting, durable, and affordable images and no the paper is pretty affordable and highly durable! Because Zink doesn't use most of the components of normal printers it can be miniature in size and according to the claim on their website it will be portable and highly compatible with other consumer electronic devices making all of these capable of executing a print. So, this leaves the printer with only requirement of paper and you are through with the finest quality print! The advantages of ZINK include the compression of space because it does not use ink cartridges besides it is not affected by gravity! The ZINK printing process leaves no waste stream. The photo itself is the only artifact of the printing process. We are waiting and watching for now!
