ZINK Imaging sponsored the first annual Zero Boundaries™ design competition to challenge established design firms, emerging designers, and students of design to imagine new and innovative solutions that enable and enhance printing with the ZINK™ Technology.

Zero Boundaries™ Design Competition Goal

The ZINK Technology will enable a new category of products that print in a whole new way and take printing to whole new places. The goal of the design competition is to re-imagine printing and its role in the digital world using the ZINK Technology. Whether the design solutions explore existing printing needs in a new way, or envision new opportunities for printing, this exploration will fuel the future possibilities of the ZINK Technology platform.

The Zero Boundaries™ competition invited designers to explore the concept and opportunities of a "ZINK-enabled" world through a single design challenge that was addressed by entrants in two ways - either with a design solution for a specific target market and with specific print output size(s) (Option 1) OR with a design solution that addresses broader opportunities uniquely fulfilled by the ZINK Technology (Option 2).

The Design Challenge: "Bridge the Gap Between the Digital and Real World
by designing a complete ZINK-enabled product "ecosystem" that demonstrates the power of the ZINK Technology to link the digital world to the real world via a tangible ZINK Print.
