Now You See It

Now you don’t.

Using a special ink, the Eco Printer allows you to print something, use it, erase what’s been printed on the paper, so that you may then reuse the paper to print something else on it. And then you can repeat the process …

The content can be erased by zapping the page with UV.

But here’s the problem: I may print something, and then fold the page so that I can put it into my pocket. And then I may need to write something on that piece of paper.

My writing, of course, will not be able to be erased by the UV, and folding the page will stop the paper from being able to be put through the printer a second, third or fourth time ….

So, if you never, ever need to fold your printed output, or write extra notes, or do anything that makes the pages you use far more useful than just as printed output, then the eco printer might be for you.

Otherwise, probably not.
