PrePeat Printer uses no ink nor paper
Want to take the truly paperless route in your home and office? Why, the PrePeat Printer could be just the thing for you. After all, it uses a new kind of technology which actually achieves “printouts” without using either ink or paper, thanks to a heat sensitive plastic sheet alongside a precision thermal head that “prints” out both gray scale text and images. The paper which it is printed on can be reused simply by feeding the sheets through the printer again, where a different temperature removes everything or rewrites over it. Of course, with most of us printing documents out simply because we want a hardcopy, the PrePeat Printer isn’t exactly cost effective with a price tag of $5,500, not to mention that each sheet of special plastic paper costs $3.30.

Heated mouse and mouse pad now that is not cool. ha ha. The chair on the other hand could be a great asset to the home office or if you have a great employer you may be able to negotiate some much needed luxuries for your working life.

I like the pencil printer better. This sounds like a reinvent of scantrons that were used back in the day with projectors. Yes, they are reusable and the idea is clever but it will make more plastic waste. The documents will get bent, warped and ruined and become plastic landfill… far better to invent biodegradable ink and paper… and printer for that matter. Keep trying.
