Inkjet Printers

Does Lexmark's patent on ink cartridges extend to forbidding buyers from re-using or selling them? No way, says a nearly unanimous Supreme Court.

Researchers at Purdue University have outlined a way to mass-produce circuits made of liquid-metal alloys using inkjet-printing technology, paving the way for "soft robots" and other kinds of flexible electronics.

Researchers at Northwestern University have devised a new method of creating large volumes of high-quality graphene, and then printing flexible graphene patterns with an inkjet printer that are 250 times more conductive than previous attempts.

Will replacement organs 20 years out be printed, grown, or built? 3D printing of organs has just been given a huge boost with the demonstration of the ability to print human stem cells. This is the technology of the future, that so many in hospitals wait for today.

You’ve undoubtedly heard or seen advertisements for businesses that promise to save you money on printer ink cartridges -- one problem, though, according to HP: Refilling doesn't work.

3D printing is a method of manufacturing everything from tools to shoes to jewelery, or even car and aerospace parts using a computer-controlled printer.

You can add another crazy characteristic to graphene's ever-expanding list of "wonder material" properties: It can now be used to create flexible, transparent thin-film transistors... using an inkjet printer.
