Xerox Research Center announced a grade they developed that is an erasable paper. The goal was to produce a completely recyclable paper grade that could be used an unlimited amount of times.
A survey revealed an average of 1200 pages were printed each month by individual office workers – 44.5% of the printed sheets had a life span of one day. Most documents today are printed merely to review; the archival function is almost completely on an electric storage devise such as a server or PC.
People still really like paper – but not enough to maintain a copy of the printout. The new technology produces a low resolution, purple ink. This ink disappears in 16-20 hours and is ready to be printed again as a blank sheet. Xerox believes the sheet will be functional for at least 50 copies.
This sheet is not available for commercial use yet, when it becomes available, companies like Paper.com will market it.
