About ZINK® Zero Ink® Printing Technology

ZINK® Zero Ink® Printing Technology from ZINK Imaging is a revolutionary approach to printing that makes it possible to print in full-color without ink cartridges, ribbons or toner. The key to the ink-free system is the patented ZINK Paper®, an advanced composite material embedded with cyan, yellow and magenta dye crystals and with a protective polymer overcoat. Before printing, the dye crystals are colorless making ZINK Paper look like regular white photo paper. The ZINK Smart App Printers™ use heat to activate and colorize these crystals. The result is full-color, high quality, long-lasting and durable images.

About ZINK hAppy Smart App Printers™

The ZINK hAppy™ family from ZINK Imaging is a comprehensive line of products, all created to empower anyone to be more productive and creative at home or at work. The hAppy ecosystem includes a new category of devices called Smart App Printers™, ink-free ZINK zRolls™, a variety of digital content such as apps and design elements, complementary accessories, and the support and integration of third-party printing standards.
