ZINK Paper is at the heart of ZINK Zero Ink Technology.

ZINK Paper is an advanced composite

material with cyan, yellow, and magenta dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer
overcoat layer outside, enabling true ink-free prints. Before printing, the embedded dye crystals are
colorless, so ZINK Paper looks like regular white photo paper. A ZINK-enabled device uses heat to activate
and colorize these dye crystals.These crystals, named Amorphochromic crystals, represent an entirely
new class of molecules, invented by ZINK Scientists through a rigorous discovery process. The properties
of each dye crystal were finely tuned to achieve the color palette and image stability required for
beautiful, full-color digital prints. ZINK scientists also invented a way to activate each of the crystals
independently using heat pulses of precisely determined duration and temperature to achieve any color
under the rainbow. The printing process is now radically simple
