NO-INK COLOR PRINTING…… Innovative Nano Technology

Even though we have been dealing with nanomaterials for years, the last decade really spawned an interest and certainly incredible R&D funding for nano research.   I love this area and find some of the innovations at the atomic level incredible.

Came across something from Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology.   They reproduced the Missouri S&T athletic logo on a nanometer-scale surface and demonstrated the color printing process without using pigment or ink.  The authors report achieving “pure colors with high brightness”.

The researchers describe their “no-ink” printing method in the latest issue of the Nature Publishing Group journal Scientific Reports.  A brief summary of the method may be found on the University website –   –    http://news.mst.edu/2015/06/researchers-demonstrate-no-ink-color-printing-with-nanomaterials .  The article can also be searched on their web site:  Researchers demonstrate ‘no-ink’ color printing with nanomaterials;   June 6, 2015 by Andrew Careaga.

Future applications of this technology will be phenomenal.  Although I think it may take several years before we see the impact of pigment-free color printing, it could become a reality in the future.  It surely is innovative technology.
