HP Developed a new system, called IonTouch, which enables cheap and easy « paperless » printing. The basic idea is that IonTouch can be used to « print » small displays for applications such as calling cards, QR Codes, badges and more.
Those cards are based on E Ink, and so does not require any power while the image stays – and of course the image can be changed with the « printing » equipment. Each display is a 2.5″ 300×300 monochrome (16 grayscales) E Ink panel. HP is aiming for a low-cost solution and each display will cost less than $2 to make.
