Grow your own toner
If only that was true.
But with printer companies making the bulk of their money from selling
ink to us, that doesn’t sound likely.But the big one from Palo Alto has
created toner particles that are chemically grown. Instead of
mechanically grounding toner powder from a carbon block, HP’s spherical
monochrome toner is vat-grown.It sounds like Frankenstein science, but
unlike Shelley’s monster, HP’s homegrown toner makes a bit of sense.HP
claims that this process results in a consistently round toner particle
which allows for a more efficient printing process that will led to a
smaller cartridge. HP also claims that toner placement on paper will be
more precise because of the evenness of this new toner
particle.Question is: Would this newly spawned toner come with a
monster price tag per cartridge?
