Ping Pong Ball Printer

Do away with all that flat print media. Sphere’s are where it’s at!
Though I’m guessing it will be a while before you can read a “news-ball” over morning coffee – These guys have a pretty intricate setup going on, incorporating an EFX-TEK prop automation board and Parallax serial inkjet printhead. [via]-Link
