Xerox papier wist zichzelf uit

"Xerox scientists have invented an "erasable paper" -- a way to make prints whose images last only a day, so that the paper can be used again and again.

The technology, which is still in a preliminary state, blurs the line between paper documents and digital displays and could ultimately lead to a significant reduction in paper use.

The experimental printing technology, a collaboration between the Xerox Research Centre of Canada and PARC (Palo Alto Research Center Inc.), could someday replace printed pages that are used for just a brief time before being discarded. Xerox estimates that as many as two out of every five pages printed in the office are for what it calls "daily" use, like e-mails, Web pages and reference materials that have been printed for a single viewing."

Nu nog "erasable diapers".
