Does Anyone Know Tomy Xiao?

If you read my articles on "The Future of Inkjet Cartridges" or the "The Future of Inkjet Cartridges-Part II", you are aware that my purpose is to keep YOU, my valued customers, informed on what I feel the trend is in the printer industry.....(Look out Staples)!

Yes, for now, we are pretty much stuck with the never ending toner cartridge world. A world where the powder or ink can wind up all over your clothes when changing the cartridge in your printer, sound familiar? Better yet, are you recycling your toner cartridges? That can be a royal pain as well. If you scanned my most recent article, "The Link Between Toner and the Digital World", paper is the link that crosses the industry into the 21st century.

How does all this relate to Tomy Xiao? Well, that is the new digital camera which contains a printer made by Zink, the company with the paper and printer that makes the cutting edge technology. The new TOMY xiao™ TIP-521 Digital Camera with Built-in Printer is a full-featured 5 megapixel digital camera with a built-in full color ZINK™ printer. The xiao™ is a first of its kind integrated digital camera and printer that allows consumers to capture, view, and immediately print their digital images without ink, anywhere. Photos can now be viewed and shared right away - anywhere and all from one device. The xiao™ produces borderless, full-color, 2x3" (5x7,6 cm) prints in less than 60 seconds.

The xiao™ features a "retro" design and innovative built-in software to enable a variety of entertaining printing options from templates to borders. It also features an IrDA receiver so that you can print images sent to the xiao™ wirelessly from other IrDA devices.

ZINK Technology is fully developed and market ready. In fact, the first ZINK-enabled product is already available for sale. ZINK is changing the way the world thinks about printing.
