Ink-free printers create photos and labels, run Android
- Zigurd 13y agoThe chemistry behind the printing process is pretty amazing. It was invented by some ex-Polaroid people. It has a very powerful drawing program embedded in it, or running on a smartphone for the headless version.
- wmf 13y agoIs it similar to thermal printing or something different?
- Zigurd 13y agoIt is color thermal printing. The chemicals in the paper have a phase transition that reveals the colors. That means you can heat them at different temperatures and durations to make the phase transitions happen selectively. Much easier said than done.
- e3pi 13y agoThe Ink-free caught my eye. I would like to be available something like yesterday's `dirty dot' 9-pin dot matrix printer with a stout solenoid print head gun to impact tactile enough like Braille pages for the blind, but alphanumeric. Has this happened, still available?
