Disappearing Ink Is Cutting Edge
from the toy-to-technology dept
We've all been waiting and waiting for digital paper, and it doesn't look like it's coming anytime soon. Maybe all we really need is disappearing ink technology to save paper. Toshiba has developed an ink that when heated, disappears. They plan to sell the opposite of a printer, a device that erases your printed pages at a rate of 100 pages/hr. Isn't that what you always wanted for Christmas?

I would bet the old marks are still somehow detectable though, so keep shredding that sensitive info.

Technology = Efficiency
Yeah, yeah, they have to be baked to erase the ink, and traces are sure to be left, but can't you just see a scene on "Law & Order" next year where the cops, warrant in hand, bust in on a roomful of frantic corporate lawyers with sensitive papers and hairdryers. :-P

No one will use it
Even if it's per minute, I doubt it would work very well. After paper has been printed on and passed around, it's generally not in good enough condition to be run through a typical printer again without causing lots of jams.
