Ever thought of having a printer that prints your documents and pictures without using even a drop of ink? Welcome to a whole new understanding of technology where there are printers without inks! Recently there has been a revolution in printing methods. ZINK – a technology that claims to use no ink at all, generates colored images and documents without using ink, ribbons or toner. With the invention of this new technology ZINK, we’ll see the dawn of a new genre of color printers and paper which together forms an integrated system for printing purpose.

The key ingredient to this is the patented ZINK paper (made of a composite material with dye crystals implanted inside and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside). On first look, ZINK paper appears to be no different than a regular paper because the crystals inside are colorless. The ZINK printer heats up the paper to colorize the crystals. And the results are simply perfect – high quality, durable and most importantly, quite affordable.
Talking about the ergonomics, the ZINK printer is incredibly small because it does not contain most of the components of a traditional printer. Much space is saved as there are no ink cartridges. All in all, ZINK is worth a glance upon.
