Zero Ink Printing

Do you print pictures you've taken with a camera phone? Not likely. Zink Imaging hopes to change that.

Zink, whose name is derived from "zero ink," has devised a patented way to print color images without ink cartridges or ribbons. The technology, which originated at Polaroid, can be embedded in mobile phones, digital cameras and other devices. [via USAToday]

The ZINK technology enables a new category of color printers and paper that work as a system to print a whole new way.

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. ZINK paper is durable, colorful, and affordable.
