Inkless printing manipulates light at the nanoscale to produce colors

Taking advantage of the unique light absorbing properties of plasmonic metatamaterials, researchers have printed color images using nanoscale holes instead of ink

Using nanometer-size metamaterials, researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology have developed a technique to print images that uses the manipulation of light, rather than the application of ink, to produce colors. This "no-ink" printing method has been demonstrated by producing a Missouri S&T athletic logo just 50 micrometers wide.
