I know many who like hard copies of documents. Several people I know print out their e-mail, then recycle it. I guess I see the advantage - it's portable, and easier to read than the screen. I say why waste the paper? Couldn't we just create laminated sheets and replace normal inkjet ink with dry
erase ink? When finished, wipe clean and reuse.

Heard of systems that will print dry board contents, but I guess you're doing it the other way around. What you're really talking about is e-paper, which is Baked. |
|

[dalek] I'm aware of e-paper. I love the technology and hope that some day it becomes highly available and affordable. What I am proposing is a simple ink cartridge replacement and laminated paper. Both should be able to be produced at a cost very close to paper-based technologies. |

Thank you for the prior art. I can't believe nobody's baked this. The cannon one is odd - what's the point of an endless belt printer? |
|
|
Duh - never seen an endless belt whiteboard? |
|
|
No, but what a great idea. Is it like the endless belt bathroom towel dispenser? |
|
|
Well, you can't dry your hands on it very well. |
|
|
sounds like a damn good idea to me. |
|
|
I like this idea, first I thought it baked, but the exact idea of yours may not be, since I am assuming that you mean one should use existing hardware. |
|
|
Yes. The idea consists of: dry-erase cartridges for existing printers, and white plastic paper-sized sheets suitable for dry-erase markers. |
