The New Erasable Printing Paper- Like Snapchat Stories

We’re all aware that Snapchat only allows a ‘story’ to be up for 24 hours but did you know that today we could do the same with print? There’s now some erasable printing paper system that prints any information on both plain paper and/or treated paper. This method then allows the paper to erase the information from the paper, this means that the paper can then be reused and that paper doesn’t need to be wasted.

More about Erasable Printing

This type of printer is considered an ECO printer. One of our companies ‘Toshiba’ is a common company that sells erasable toner printer. Erasable Printing is often used in business environments, which would be useful as any copies made can be scanned if needed. The printer can be connected from wherever you are and whenever with Cloud Printing functionality whilst the treated paper is coated with a chemical that changes the papers colours when it’s exposed to different wavelengths of light but fades back to it’s normal colours.

Erasable Printing Paper and the Environment

This proves we’re evolving outside of social media. This would have been revolutionary in 2017 before there were more forests being taken down just to supply paper. I think erasable printing paper has completely changed the printing game and made it easier for people to work around. The treated paper is around 10% more costly than plain paper. It’s worth it if you care more about reducing waste. However, is this worth replacing social media’s methods? Snapchat have paved the way for platforms like Instagram when first introducing temporary posts. Why is it so common to use Snapchat rather than erasable printing?

Snapchat can be advantageous when keeping important information private. It’s less invasive and more for personal use, it’s more fun and is most commonly used in younger adults. On the other hand, it can be difficult for older people to work around as they find themselves getting more lost with functions of the app. For example, Snapchat filters, my eyes only, camera roll and chats.
