Summary:The article presents information about a printer that has been unveiled by Xerox Corp. that does not use ink. A prototype has been released that uses ultraviolet light to set information on a special type of paper that reacts with UV rays and can be used over and over again. The machine uses a type of paper that is treated chemically to respond to ultraviolet rays that alter the composition so that the color changes and the print becomes visible. The print automatically fades in 16-24 hours and the paper can be reused. The next step in the development of the printer is to have better control of the copy's degradation.
