From: <PhotoRoy6@xxxxxxx> 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. Roy from a post I sent in march 2008 re inkless printing made possible by Polaroid: http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2008/03/16/polaroids_entrepreneurial_legacy/ .. it's just taken them a while to get it to market ;) k
