Non-impact printing

FUJIFILM Dimatrix Technology Integration group(DTI), introduced their concept model XP-200. The purpose-built XP-200 prints images and text in a single pass onto items with unusual and often irregular surfaces – from sponge, sandpaper, leather and wood, to circuit boards – as the objects pass under the printhead array at a rate of 200 feet per minute. The system stands about 8 feet high and 12 feet long, much of it to house a printhead cluster elevator, transport mechanism and UV curing unit. It even features edge detection technology, allowing objects randomly spaced on the transport belt to be printed accurately as they fly under the printhead cluster.

The image shown here is another concept from Fujifilm for photo printing from cameraphones
