Press Release Summary = A new way of printing photos was unveiled in a conference in
California. Like a Polaroid, portable printers that can fit in the palm of the hand
can be connected to digital cameras and mobile phones to print your pictures without
the use of inks.

Press Release Body = Arlington, Texas, June 27, 2007. - A conference held in
California saw the unveiling of an innovative way of printing photos and images from
its source without the application of inks, ribbons, or even toners. A spinoff of
the very popular Polaroid, the makers of the inkless printer claims this new
technology can produce on-demand color images and photos that will change the face
of the printing technology, especially with poster printing.

Zink Imaging, the company that manufactured the inkless printers, unveiled to the
public an "ultraportable" equipment that can fit in the palm of the hand which can
then be connected to digital cameras and even mobile phones for fast quality
printing of photos without the application of inks. This is a totally new category
of color printers and paper that work together to create a whole new way of photo
reproduction.

Without ink, ribbons, or even toners, the ZINK printer utilizes a patented paper
that changes its color when heat is applied. This is made possible with the dye
crystals that were put inside the photo paper. At room temperature, the photo paper
looks like any other paper. It's colorless. But when inserted in the printer, the
heat that was activated when you start printing releases the shades in the embedded
crystals to create a plethora of colors that take the shape of your image.

In contrast, the outer layer is applied with a polymer overcoat to protect the
patented paper. The two layers combined provide a more durable, colorful and cost
effective photo printing paper.

What makes the ZINK printer more effective than the current image printers in the
market is the cost that will be saved by the user from the ink. Imagine not having
to purchase boxes and boxes of color inks and not anymore worrying that you'll run
out of them. You still need to buy the special patented paper though. But the
manufacturers are expecting to make this specially made photo paper become available
everywhere. And we're talking about costs of about 20 to 25 cents per piece.

The inkless photo printer is also "ultraportable" that it is small enough to connect
to portable gadgets like digital cameras and mobile phones (which, by the way, are
getting smaller and smaller). This is made possible by the removal of the space and
device that holds ink cartridges, toners and ink ribbons usually available in
existing photo printers in the market today. Without it, most of the bulk was
removed from the inkless printer providing a smaller, fit-in-the-hand version.

With the new technology, poster printing companies like PrintPlace.com can now save
on costs which will reduce greatly the price for quality full color printing of
pictures and images.
