Handheld printing without Ink

Thermal-printing technology developed at Polaroid spinoff Zink Imaging was demonstrated earlier this year. [ see here ] This technology is now built into a pocket-sized printer that can fit into a hand (see pictures left)

Polaroid, the company famous for cameras that print instant pictures, unveiled an ultrasmall photo printer at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. Along with being mobile, it would also dispense with the inconvenience of ink cartridges that unexpectedly begin to run out of ink, and which have to be replaced. Polaroid, says that the printers will be available to consumers by the summer, and they will be priced at less than $150.
