Capitalizing on people's nostalgia for old Polaroid prints, a company called Breakfast will soon beta-test a location-based printer that will create inkless, on-demand photos from the Instagram iPhone app. Instaprint, as it's called, automatically prints photos that are taken with Instagram app and tagged with a specific location or hashtag. Next week, Breakfast will show off two printers to ...

Thirty pages per minute is fast for an ink jet printer. Very fast in fact. So, how do you react to an inkjet printer that pumps out between 60 and 70 pages per minute? We think the proper response is stunned silence. Memjet's new inkjet printer tech is able to spray a page with ink in a single pass, rather than having to travel across the page several times to produce an image. At CES, the company ...

The Web is teeming with the unrealized ideas of both students and established designers who set out to produce astonishing renderings and prototypes for unusual products. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, money, or technology, many of those products never progress from the planning stages to the mass market. But that doesn't mean we can't salivate over them, nevertheless. While you've ...

If you were planning on traveling with a suitcase full of printer cartridges, we've got some bad news. The TSA has decided to ban printer and toner cartridges that weigh more than 16 ounces from both carry-on and checked luggage on all flights bound for U.S. destinations. But it shouldn't surprise you to learn of the new prohibition, considering the bomb scare two weeks ago. Explosive devices ...

Scratch and Sniff stickers exploded in popularity during the glorious early '80s, but the trendy olfactory simulators rapidly faded into obscurity. For some reason, Japanese scientists apparently hope to revolutionize the forgotten, fragrant industry by incorporating scent production with modern technology. Keio University researchers reportedly worked in conjunction with Canon to hack -- and ...

If you have Facebook pictures pretty enough to frame and set on the mantle, you can now print photos directly from the site using Kodak kiosks at Target. Just a few weeks after Facebook announced support for higher-resolution photos, Facebook and Kodak have teamed up with Target to cut out the printing middleman (i.e. flash drives) by installing these kiosks in stores. Target is saying that the ...

Share We always thought that the rise of digital photography would, at one point or another, render film obsolete. According to Kodak, however, we (and virtually everyone else) were all wrong. As Wired reports, the iconic film company is enjoying something of a counterintuitive renaissance in this digital age, as sales of color film remain strong, and black-and-white film sales are actually ...

Last week, Hewlett-Packard unveiled its online printing program, which allows users to remotely print Web content from their computers or phones. Along with the program, the company launched a new service called "scheduled delivery," which enables customers to regularly print pages at specified times. Now, in order to promote these new features, the company has joined forces with Yahoo! to launch ...

If you pay exorbitant amounts for ink cartridges, you might as well make sure they go to good use, right? That's exactly what Australia's National Park Service has decided to do -- by utilizing used cartridges to create a 347 mile (170 kilometer) bike path between Alice Springs and Simpsons Gap in the Northwest Territory. Australian company Repeat Plastics Australia is constructing the trail out ...

Hewlett-Packard announced yesterday a new line of printers that have their own e-mail addresses in an attempt to breathe new life into printing. Rather than connect a device to the printer, you can simply e-mail a document, photo or PDF to one of HP's new machines, and it will be waiting in the printer's tray when you get home. The company hopes these new printers, which will be released over the ...

A b3ta user who goes by the handle "squirrelfantasy" has no small amount of know-how when it comes to LEGOs and the inner workings of printers. Having just written that sentence, we won't regret dubbing this gent an über-nerd, because he applied those twin fonts of knowledge when he built an inkjet-type printer out of LEGOs and felt-tip markers. It's not exactly fast, but -- unless you're ...

Interaction designer Chris O'Shea, in collaboration with Random International, has created a unique interactive interface that feeds the viewer's image back to him or her. "A Study for Mirror" uses a light-reactive screen-printing system that reproduces the viewer's image on glass, before wiping it away for the next user. Contained within a small frame, the work houses both a full PC with custom ...

As sad a reality as it is, much of the digitized world still relies on paper. But for many of us who've become accustomed to completely paperless, smartphone-based existences, remembering to print a pair of concert tickets or a big term paper before leaving the house can be a difficult and often cumbersome task. Luckily, though, a new app now allows procrastinating or forgetful users to save both ...

Extras At this point, USB ports and Gigabit Ethernet are standard features in desktops and laptops alike, so we won't waste your time talking about them. There are still a few hardware options worth mentioning, though. Wireless If you're getting a laptop, Wi-Fi is a given. You'll want to make sure you get one with an 802.11n card in it. Wi-Fi is less important in a desktop machine that ...

We've seen food and printers meet before with varying results (depending on how crisp you like your toast). But we've never seen anything quite like this new project from a couple of MIT students. Trust us, this printer isn't meant for the office. According to Inhabitat, the Cornucopia will "print" and cook 3-D versions of your favorite dishes. Think meals-ready-to-eat, but for the hip, digital ...
