E-paper Printer
The electronics are in the printer, not the reusable "paper" | |
Consider E-Ink technology (linked). The display consists of an
array
of electrically alterable miniscopic cells, each of which retains
its
status after getting altered, and there are electronic circuits
behind
the visible surface of the display, to do the altering.
In this printer the
paper consists of the array of alterable
miniscopic
cells. It passes through the printer, which suitably alters the
cells as
the paper passes through. The resulting image is as static as
ever.
But the paper can be used over and over again, because the
entire
image on the paper can be erased and otherwise altered, while
passing
through the printer.
Note that E-ink technology is only one of several possibilities
for this system, and some of them can do colors well.

Prior art. They don't use epaper tech, though, so this is a new idea, I think. [notexactly, Oct 27 2016]
