Infini-tie is a desktop printer that will print
you out a different tie every time you want
one. Instead of a paper feed, you load it
up with precut out blank ties that come in
cartridges.
You can chose "Pantone" mode for a basic
solid colour, or "random image mix" which
accesses an on-line
photo library like
Getty.
Set it up the night before and your freshly
printed tie will be waiting to greet you first
thing in the morning.

+ I think this is nice, but are they *paper* ties? |
|
|
Only the finest, pressed fabric will do. |
|
|
Nothing like a mobius bow-tie, then? |
|
|
Ideally it would sync with Outlook or some other diary program and print out your day's appointments on the tie. |

I'd vote for this if it was a CNC tie weaver that created a new custom silk tie on demand. Printed ties are crap. |

A bun from me.. there should also be a way to erase the pattern from the tie so as you can re-use em. Save money space and so forth.. |

//The Goblin Tiesmade// I think Rumpelstiltskin should have been glad to have lent his name to this product. |

You might remember, he also sang a little song which might be of conversational interest to some half-bakers and home-brewers: |
|
|
"To-day do I bake, to-morrow I brew,
The day after that the queen's child comes in;
And oh! I am glad that nobody knew
That the name I am called is Rumpelstiltskin!"[1] |

|
//Set it up the night before// That's disappointing; I was
thinking of using it for an emergency replacement tie if my
regular one got stained part-way through a working day. |
|
|
//"Pantone" mode for a basic solid colour// That alone is a
good idea. I assumed it was baked, but a little casual
Googling suggests not. |

This is a creative and insightful idea for sustainable clothing. However, the at-home printing technology currently available would hardly constitute the quality of an image you would want on a tie. |
