The Toshiba B-SX8R is a new kind of printer that not only prints fast but saves paper. The printer can actually erase what is on a used sheet and then use it for reprint. It heats the pigments in the paper from 130 to 170 degrees which lifts the black off the paper. The sheet is now totally white and they can preform this action more then 500 times on one sheet of paper. There is also another piece of technology that, if combined with the printer mentioned above, would make for one awesome printer. What this device does is it uses a printhead that consists of individual microchip segments. Each of these segments measures roughly 20mm and they contain 6,400 nozzles. This then allows the printer to print at speeds of 2 pages a second. This could allow any printer to print thousands of pages in minutes. This would definitely be beneficial for schools to use since a lot of teachers have to print mass amounts of paper for their students. Coupled with the printer above, they could ‘reprint’ the excess paper they may have so they don’t waste that paper. Watch the video after the jump
