Rewritable printer

Toshiba has developed a unique printer that uses special rewritable stock to help reduce paper consumption in large companies. The paper itself is sort of a plastic-like material not unlike what is used for the labels on soft drink bottles and like old-style fax paper it has thermal printing properties. Exposure to temperatures above 180 degrees will turn the page black while temperatures between 130 and 160 degrees will cause the pigments to turn white essentially erasing the page.
