Nanotechnology machine gun printer showcased

High-speed nanotechnology printing that promises to revolutionise the print industry in the same way that the Vickers machine gun did for rifle weaponry was showcased at the Gorillas of Tomorrow technology innovation event in Cambridge today. Promising to combine the productivity benefit of a digital process with the throughput and quality of offset printing, Inkski founder Dr Daniel Hall described the Light Initiated Liquid Offset (LILO) process which uses a spinning cylinder to quick fire drops of ink as making "personalised newspaper feasible…additionally it would drastically reduce the cost of printing small niche publications, enabling high quality journals to be produced."
