Positives for the paper industry in 2018 have included the book emerging as a new trend, not just a one year fluke. And could it be more than just books?

1. Adult magazine print has increased for the first time in a generation. 
2. Readership of books is growing among a number of generations - and in paperback no less. Youth involvement. 

3. Electronic reading pads like the Amazon Kindle - once thought of as the next big thing is arguably seeming more and more relegated to history as the company continues to build into retail technology over "igadget" technology.

(January 10, 2017) Scientists have hacked a standard inkjet printer to create multicolor images that can be erased and reprinted eight times on the same sheet of paper.

A team of Chinese researchers recently combined some nifty chemistry with a standard inkjet printer to create multicolor images that can be printed and erased eight times using a single sheet of rewritable paper. The findings ["Dynamic metal-ligand coordination for multicolour and water-jet rewritable paper"] were reported in the journal Nature Communications.
