ABSTRACT:
A reusable media printing system is provided for temporarily printing an image to a reusable print media having a changeable property that changes the optical appearance of the reusable print media when exposed to a physical effect. A reusable media printhead installed in a printing mechanism, preferably in place of an inkjet printhead, selectively exposes the reusable print media to this physical effect in response to a firing signal generated by a controller to change the optical appearance of the reusable print media to display the image for viewing. A reusable print media, a method of making the reusable media, and a reusable media cartridge are also provided. A method is provided for printing a temporary image to a reusable print media. The reusable printhead may be a stationary, page-wide array or a replaceable cartridge carried by a carriage mechanism across a printzone adjacent the reusable media.
