Green Printer

I know most of my frens will luvvvvvv this gadget. I have heard enough of frens who are exasperated by the cost of cartridges but hey guess what? Most printer companies make money from these consumables and not the printer itself, so what makes you think they will lower the price for consumers?

But fret not, there is a gadget in the concept mode but it uses coffee or tea dregs as the ink, amazing isn't it? This makes it almost cost free as most of us will drink coffee or tea. So if you do not compost your coffee or tea dregs, you can just divert it to your printer. At the end of the day, not only are you being green, your printouts smell wonderful too!

The RITI printer is an eco-friendly printer based on the concept of a new ink system. We focused on the ink cartridge since it is one of the problems when using a printer: it's often difficult to replace, costly to refill, and can stain your hands if mishandled.

The RITI printer uses coffee or tea dregs. The user places the coffee or tea dregs into the ink case located on the top of the printer, then insert a piece of paper in the middle. Moving the ink case left and right will print your image, and as you draw on the paper, dregs inscript on the paper just like ink.

Using coffee or tea dregs as ink saves the cost buying ink, the burden of wasted things, and users' work. Furthermore, since the user moves the ink case in order to make a print, the device doesn't need electricity. Of course, you can smell a whisper of coffee or tea incense from the paper printed by RITI.

Use:

1. Insert a paper in the middle of the printer

2. Put the coffee or tea dregs into the ink case on the top of the printer

3. Move the ink case left and right as you draw on a paper

4. When the print finishes, pull out the paper from the printer and wash the ink case
