Zero Ink printing : Zink Imaging has unveiled a new way for consumers to print and experience full color digital images without the need for ink cartridges or ribbons. Zink Imaging's patented technology, being shown for the first time at the DEMO 07 conference, shifts the printing paradigm from an ink cartridge or ink ribbon, to a totally inkless system. Images magically appear on the Zink paper without a drop of ink. The key to the Zink process is the Zink paper, which is protected by more than 100 patents and patents pending. Dye crystals are embedded in the Zink paper and are activated by heat from a Zink printer. The crystals then colorize, producing high quality, long-lasting, durable, and affordable images.
