The Idea Blog

Since returning to Greensboro full-time, I have noticed that we have a few printers here at the Burris HQ that are not in use. Some of us like to print more than others, but I thought this piece on Zink was interesting and sheds some light on the future of printing.

Zink is “a spin-off from Polaroid that has developed an inkless printing technology.” With Zink the ink is actually dye crystals embedded in the paper, and they turn colors when heated. Getting rid of ink could pave the way for “the creation of compact, mobile printers that can be embedded into digital cameras, laptops, and even cell phones.” To learn more, visit The New Disruptors hosted by Business 2.0’s Erick Schonfeld.
