This is based on third-party supplier Zink Imaging and uses paper embedded with  coloured crystals.

The colours are activated by heating tiny thermal probes on the paper to create images. The 4.8in x 2.8in x 0.9in printer weighs just seven ounces and can print via Bluetooth from laptops and mobile phones.

It can print images up to 2in x 3in, and the paper comes with an adhesive backing so that the images can be used to create stickers and point-of-sale material.

According to Zimk Imaging – the company behind Inkless Printing – the Dell Wasabi is the fourth product available using the Zink technology, with many more on the way, including those capable of making larger prints.

At the heart of the ZINK Technology is the patented ZINK Paper, an advanced composite material with cyan, yellow, and magenta dye crystals embedded inside, and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside. The crystals are colorless before printing, so ZINK Paper looks like regular white photo paper. Heat from a ZINK-enabled device activates the crystals, forming all the colors of the rainbow.
