No [existing] printer company is going to support this. They all make their money on the toner, ink, drums, etc. If I understand this correctly there would be virtually NO consumables. Maybe a new box of paper now and then but the paper gets reused too.
Sounds great for the consumer, great for the environment, but someone still has to build and sell the things. Are we going to want to pay $10,000 for one of these even after the market matures? They do not seem like something that could start out replacing the huge thing we might have in a copy center either.
and... Wasn't IBM supposed to have cheap, flexible, color displays produced using existing laminating technology that is used to make potato chip bags by now?
