The eco-friendly RITI printer

[candas1]

An eco-friendly printer that turns coffee into ink, you had to think about it! That's what RITI does by designing its ecological printer around a simple process: the printer recycles the coffee grounds directly and uses them for ink.




A gadget that participates in the "Greener Gadgets Design Competition" and that hopes to win the prize of $ 5.000 offered to the winner so that the latter is able to launch the production of his find on a large scale.

The idea is excellent but limited to "temporary" documents (but this must represent 80% of the documents printed in a company): because the readability may not be very long. So invoice for example: not possible.

So if she goes out one day, they already have a client ...

But I'm pessimistic for them ...

I never leave coffee so it will not help me
After that could work with something other than coffee maybe

[Christophe]

Uh it's the coffee grounds that is used right?

But maybe you eat it?

Warning: it will be expensive! What do you think HP, Canon, Lexmark, Epson really earns? At the price where are the printers currently ....

So much for me, I zapped
But otherwise I get to drink Turkish coffee, and in this coffee the marc stays in the cup, I always eat a little without wanting

One can even read the future in before using it in the printer
But I'm going astray ...

I saw superb coffee machines which ejected a "pellet" of grounds after each cup (the machine grinds the coffee as it goes)

That said, what about contrast? When you see what's in an ink: black smoke, oil, solvent ...

That's why I said: I'm skeptical

But I'm pessimistic for them ...

Right, they are thieves! Even for so-called "pro" printers: for example, on our HP2840: drum designed for 20 pages at 000% and we make 5 to 5000 with! Ditto with cartridge ... and each reloading is 6000 € !!!

We do 99% invoice or accounting: so the filling rate is of the order of 5% or less ...

So avoid HP at all costs !!!

But I think the others are kif kif except the "REAL PROS": kyocera for example but the purchase price is not the same ...
