據(jù)科技博客網(wǎng)站Gizmodo報(bào)道，一臺(tái)名叫“懺悔錄”打印機(jī)的設(shè)備不用石墨，而是用LED紫外燈在光敏紙張上打印人們做出的懺悔，隨著時(shí)間的流逝，紙上的內(nèi)容也會(huì)消失。

除非你真的想實(shí)現(xiàn)一個(gè)無(wú)紙化辦公的環(huán)境，利亞特·西格爾的 “懺悔錄”打印機(jī)不適合打印工作中的TPT報(bào)告。這款打印機(jī)不采用墨水或石墨，利用16個(gè)紫外線LED燈在一張布滿感光顏料的紙張上“打印”信息，當(dāng)打印的燈頭經(jīng)過(guò)后不久，紙張上就顯示出藍(lán)色的打印痕跡。

但打印出來(lái)的內(nèi)容只能在紙上停留一會(huì)呢?西格爾的設(shè)計(jì)意圖是將在各種社交網(wǎng)站上披露的私密且匿名的懺悔錄打印出來(lái)。他認(rèn)為，如果將這些內(nèi)容公布，就等同于本人承認(rèn)了自己的錯(cuò)誤，可以釋懷了。隨著字跡的逐漸淡化，就象征著過(guò)去所犯下的錯(cuò)誤逐漸被原諒和遺忘。法院應(yīng)該不會(huì)采用這種方式來(lái)接受人們的懺悔吧……

This LED Printer Creates Fleeting Messages on Photosensitive Paper

Liat Segal's Confession Machine printer isn't designed for running copies of TPT reports at work, unless you're really making an effort to realize a truly paperless office. Because instead of ink or toner, Segal's creation uses an array of 16 ultraviolet LEDs to 'print' messages on a static surface covered with a photosensitive paint that turns bright blue as the printhead passes over—but only momentarily.

But why the temporary fleeting results? Segal's creation is designed to print intimate but anonymous confessions that have been revealed on various social networks. By making them public, it's as if the person is admitting to their mistake—so it's no longer hanging over the heads. And as the messages fade, it's as if the mistake is being actively forgiven and forgotten. If only the courts agreed to adopt this technology.
