Toshiba has released its second-generation erasable toner printer.
Unlike its first model, this world-first technology has been integrated into a standard multifunctional printer to help businesses reduce their carbon footprint.
Printing in blue toner, it can be used on temporary documents such as e-mails or drafts. When a task has been finished, the document can be fed back into the printer where the toner will be removed, allowing the blank paper to be reused again.
It allows for a more efficient re-use of paper, as well as reducing waste and cutting costs by making paper last five times longer.
Toshiba America Business Solutions Chief Marketing Executive Bill Melo said:Â "The introduction of our hybrid copier helps organizations operate in a more ecologically friendly manner."
"Rather than simply recycling paper used to print temporary documents, organisations are now able to erase and reuse that paper with the touch of a button."Â Â Â
He added that combining the erasable printing technology into one device also made the technology more accessible to businesses with space constraints.
