As the lawyers say "Not worth the paper it is printed on."

When they deliver a working model into the retail world at affordable prices it will be time to take notice.

Then again I said the same thing about 3D printers and now I see my version of Photoshop has a driver for 3D printers. Maybe I can order one on eBay or Amazon.

I don't see what is so brilliant about this idea. The printer may use only water, but only prints on a special paper with colour embedded. It looks to me like only monochrome printing is possible.

As I understand it, the print will fade away as the water evaporates, so... Why use it? How many times can you reuse the paper? And why use it?

A major percentage of what our home inkjets "spit" is water anyway (with a colorant/pigment and some extra goodies added). It still has to be delivered to a print head in very tight conditions....
