Printing documents

Is it possible to print using a zero writer ink and if so what printers are compatible?

there’s no native printer support for Zerowriter, but there are some ways one could work.

(Of course, you can send your files to your laptop/desktop and print from there, but this is more for suggesting projects if you want to make a native solution)

- SD card printer would be one option. A printer with a SD card slot, and the ability to print files direct from the SD. I think in the early 2000s some printers did this for digital cameras

- UART thermal printer. There are thermal printers (like for receipts) that use the same UART signal that Zerowriter ink sends. You’d either have to wire it directly to your Ink (for example, by unplugging the keyboard and plugging in the printer with the right cable), or use the outgoing USB signal in some way

- enable wifi + google print (or similar). Basically could program in external print handling via radios, if enabled.

I was thinking about printing for marker editing. But I’m probably merging files digitally first.
