Everyone has noticed a mistake on a document after having printed it out, then felt guilty for having wasted paper; this is now avoidable with the newly developed Toshiba erasable toner copier. Using a unique type of ink that will be initially available in navy blue, Toshiba has invented a copier that will accept previously printed documents and erase all of their contents before returning a blank page to the user.
This invention, if implemented widely, will revolutionize the office workplace. Furthermore, if one wishes to save the information of a document but still erase its contents, the Toshiba erasable toner copier also has a scanning capability to preserve the information it physically erases. A price has not been decided for this system; however, I believe this is a worthwhile investment for any office looking to portray an eco-friendly atmosphere.
