ZINK Imaging Receives Computerworld Horizon Award for Their ZINK(TM) Zero Ink(TM) Printing Technology

WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - August 20, 2007) - ZINK Imaging, the innovators behind the revolutionary ZINK™ Zero Ink™ digital printing technology, today announced that IDG's Computerworld, the premier source of IT industry news and analysis, selected ZINK Imaging as a recipient of its third annual Computerworld Horizon Awards Program for cutting-edge technologies. The ZINK™ Technology was selected by an independent panel of senior IT executives.

"The Computerworld Horizon Awards Program recognizes companies developing innovative, promising technologies which hold the potential to significantly affect enterprises in the near future," said Don Tennant, editor-in-chief of Computerworld. "Our panel of senior IT executives evaluated submissions from leading corporations, universities, and research labs. ZINK Imaging was chosen for its game-changing 'ink-free' approach to printing. All of the award winners are demonstrating leadership in IT management and innovation in their industry sectors."

The ZINK™ Technology makes it possible to print and experience full color digital images without the need for ink cartridges or ribbons. This new inkless technology delivers a truly magical experience that not only enables high quality printing in places never before been possible, but is good for the environment and is affordable for everyone. ZINK™ Technology is a catalyst for advanced product development, enabling world-class brands to offer consumers new advantages and even new product categories.

The key is the patented ZINK™ Paper, an advanced composite material with patented yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer overcoat outside. Before printing, the embedded dye crystals are colorless so ZINK™ Paper looks like regular white photo paper. A ZINK™ Enabled printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals. The printing process is now radically simple. Just add paper™ and print. The results are high quality, long lasting, durable, and affordable images.

"We're delighted to receive this accolade from Computerworld as continued acknowledgement of what we consider to be a pretty amazing technological achievement -- the ability to print without ink," said Wendy Caswell, President and CEO, ZINK Imaging. "Our innovation makes people smile and say 'Wow!' We look forward to sharing this magic with the world later this year."

The Horizon Award winners are profiled in a special report in the August 20 issue of Computerworld.
