Toshiba Corp. will begin to market a decolorable printing ink that is rendered invisible by heat treatment. The company claims the use of this ink will allow companies to reuse paper, cut office waste and to reduce business costs.
The products in the “e-blue” range include decolorable toner, an erasing machine, a photoconductor unit and decolorable ink pen.
The essence of the product range is an ink that is entirely free of carbon and that decolors when exposed to a high level of heat. The toner prints words and images on standard plain paper in blue to distinguish it from carbon-black-based toner.
Toshiba will target initial sales of “e-blueTM” at corporate clients who use laser printers and standard black toner, and plans to extend the application of “e-blue” products in the near future to include copy machines and large-scale, industrial-use printing.Latest from Recycling Today
