Disappearing ink (w/o asking Mom for matches)


Remember disappearing ink? Writing code letters (or love notes) in lemon juice, which wasn't visible on the page until you held a match underneath? Well, here's a version for the 21st century.

Xerox... which apparently also goes by the name "Xe-rocks"... has developed a paper that holds ink for the short-term, then fades to blank and can be-reprinted. Perfect for all of those documents destined for the shredder. Another great example of re-thinking waste.

I remember disappearing ink, and I miss it. It’s a good thing to have version for the 21st century.
I will certainly use it, mainly because I use in the shredder a lot. I’ve never heard about Xerox or "Xe-rocks. I’m sure it will be enormous success in the interiors industry. I congratulate the initiative for making a version for the 21st century for disappearing ink. I’ll update this blog very often, hoping that you'll publish about carpet. I need a new one urgent, because my dog destroyed the old one

Our blog is mostly about sustainable design in the interiors industry,
especially carpet. Sometimes it's just about us. Updated when we've got something good to say.
