I came across a link to this, as yet unreleased, photo printer which uses no ink or toner. The paper is made of three color layers, which are processed to develop the image as opposed to layering ink onto the paper. The first products, to be released later this year, are to be a portable printer, a combination camera and printer, and business card size photo paper (available in sticky-back.)
I have forgotten where I first read about this, but it seems like I read somewhere that the printer was to be around $100, the combo device was about $200 and the paper would be $20 / 100 sheets. Not too bad, I'd say. And it sounds like a pretty cool thing.
I'm looking forward to "late 2007' when it is to be available. (After all, everyone knows I don't have enough in my gadget bag.)
