A zero-energy hybrid between digital displays and e-ink

HP Labs has recently announced a new hybrid printing technology that is set to change the way that employee IDs, visitor passes, gate passes and other temporary passes are distributed to the general public.

For many visitor badges or guest cards, it can get burdensome for companies to print hundreds of thousands of them without wasting monumental amounts of paper and ink. HP has recognized this inefficiency and recently developed a technology called IonTouch that works as a cross between traditional printing and e-ink technology. The idea is to be able to rewrite information on a plastic ID cards without having to throw it away, so they can be reused by other individuals after the credentials expire.
