A Printer that Uses No Ink or Consumables

Principal Investigator Richard Fletcher


As a design study in sustainability, we set out to build a printer that uses no consumables (ink, paper, disposable batteries). Traditionally, printers are one of the worst examples of waste. The completed design comprises reusable photochromic materials, low-power motors, and a solar power battery charger.
