It's a pretty cool device. The title would be even cooler if it'd say "make-up printer" because it's a bit clickbaity.

- _Microft 8y agoIndeed, half of me was expecting Star Trek:Insurrection-like madness.
- hn_throwaway_99 8y agoYeah, they call it an "inkjet printer" because it prints ink, not a "paper printer" because it prints onto paper.
- ovao 8y agoTechnically, it doesn’t print “inkjets” either.
- jpatokal 8y agoIt's marketing: the average guy won't buy a "make-up printer", but a "skin printer" sounds much more palatable.
- cronix 8y agoBut then we wouldn't have had Buffalo Bill and the Silence of the Lambs would have just been some geek in a basement printing skin.

That doesn’t make for pretty videos, even on fake wounds (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q8DnF0tF7D0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q8DnF0tF7D0, https://school.wakehealth.edu/Research/Institutes-and-Centers/Wake-Forest-Institute-for-Regenerative-Medicine/Research/Military-Applications/Printing-Skin-Cells-on-Burn-Wounds https://school.wakehealth.edu/Research/Institutes-and-Center...)
- amelius 8y ago"skin printer" sounds like they are printing new skin (that's what I thought when I first read the title)
- userbinator 8y agoI had a horrible misparse of the title and thought it was about a brand of "printer wipes" called Skin, then wondered what years and faces had to do with it... it made me click for sure.
- NegativeLatency 8y agoI thought it was printing disembodied skin.
