Inkjet technology has found a host of applications beyond putting dots on paper. It can now be used to make DNA microarrays for genomics, create electrical traces for printed circuit boards, and build 3D-printed structures.

A film created by Carl Schlesinger and David Loeb Weiss documenting the last day of hot metal typesetting at The New York Times. This film shows the entire newspaper production process from hot-metal typesetting to creating stereo moulds to high-speed press operation. At the end of the film, the new typesetting and photographic production process is shown in contrast to the old ways.

Google has designed a cloud printing app that works with your printer connected either to your wireless network or to your computer via USB. Here's how to start printing now from your Android phone or tablet.

The most expensive liquid you buy is inkjet ink. So what would you say to a printer that might cost more itself but saves you big bucks on ink? David Pogue does the math for you.

Skin is the body's largest organ. Loss of the skin barrier results in fluid and heat loss and the risk of infection. The traditional treatment for deep burns is to cover them with healthy skin harvested from another part of the body. But in cases of extensive burns, there often isn't enough healthy skin to harvest.

Thanks to new technology, even the most elaborate object can be precisely painted just by dipping it in a swirling vat of rainbow colors.

The U.S. government recouped more than $88 million in counterfeit currency last year, and more than half of it was made on regular old inkjet or laser printers.

3D printer prices are dropping into a range that could appeal to home users. A handful of 3D printers priced at less than $500 were shown at the Inside 3D Printing trade show this week in New York. They can print small objects in limited colors, but prices of more advanced home 3D printers are dropping as well, opening up the market to a wider audience.

Printer cartridges are both ridiculously expensive and harmful to the environment, making them terrible on many different levels; but still, not everyone likes to read on a screen. To solve this dilemma, Chinese scientists have developed a new type of ink for your printer – ink that isn’t actually ink at all. It’s water.

A Boston startup has introduced the first 3D printer capable of printing in carbon fiber, the super-strong and lightweight material used in race cars and space shuttles. After a year of stealth development, the Mark One printer from Mark Forged was unveiled at the SolidWorks 3D-printing expo this week and is expected to retail for just $5,000.

As we wind down the year, 3D Printing has been one of the biggest tech trends in the last 12 months. We have seen so many interesting items 3D Printed since January. I thought I would make a post with some of the coolest things that we have seen printed in the last year.
