With out ink ? I think someone is getting lost in the translation. Whether
it is wax powder or ribbons it has to have ink of some sort.. It sounds like an
inexpensive to use Polariod as you only have to print the good pictures and
thermal printing with wax is much, much cheaper than Polaroid film per picture
so I think that is what is going to drive the market for these toys.
