Zink

The Sheen wanted me to pick up some ink for her printer last night, so I stopped on my way home.

The black ink cartridge was $32.something at Wally World.... for the CARTRIDGE alone! I looked down, and spotted a printer, WITH black AND color ink, for $33.something. Huh?

I ended up not buying either. Instead, went online like most techy's and found ink for more than 50% less.

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to introduce you to Zink (zero-ink). It's a new technology on the horizon that will allow you to print without ink. Ya, print black and color without ink.

The technology is in the paper, and the heat that the printer will put out. I'm excited to see how this develops over the next couple of years. You can read more about it HERE.

My concern would be, how much is this wonderful paper? :)

Oh Jake we can count on you to keep us in the loop.Sounds good one thought though hopefully the paper is not as expensive as the ink.
