Not paper-less, but Zink

Zero Ink (Zink) technology was presented last week at a technology show in the USA allowing to print full colour images on paper without using ink. The images appear on a sheet of paper after the paper is heated in a special printer. The innovation is in the paper, dye crystals are embedded in the paper and activated when heated. The crystals then colourise, producing high quality images. The shape of the printers will change drastically as no ink cartridges are required with this technology. As the size can be really small applications in mobile phones are foreseen for the end of this year.
