Multicolour 3D printing has always come with a messy compromise – wasted filament. Creality's new K3 promises to change that with four interchangeable nozzles, faster printing and considerably less plastic poop in the bin.

Boox has launched an updated version of its 10.3-inch color e-note, adding "seamless connectivity" with a folio keyboard, upgrading the pen stylus and bumping up to Android 15. There's also a pocket-friendly color ePaper device with 5G connectivity.

A year after the Kindle ebook reader got a color display, Amazon's reimagined its Kindle Scribe note-taking tablet the same way, so you can now jot down ideas, annotate PDFs, and draw in a range of hues. It's also larger and slimmer than before.

Earlier in the year, Bigme launched a doomscrolling smartphone called the HiBreak Pro, which featured an eye-friendly monochrome ePaper display. After much online leaking, the company has now officially added color to the family.

If, like me, you use a wireless mouse when working on a laptop, your trackpad probably doesn't see much action. Asus suggested double duty as a second screen back in 2018, and now E Ink is doing the same with some help from Intel.

Storing 100s of books on a digital device is a great way to satisfy your thirst for adventure without needing lots of shelving. But e-readers don't feel book-like. Now E Ink has partnered with Readmoo to launch the first foldable color e-book reader.

Digital notebooks with E Ink screens offer scribblers, jotters and doodlers an old school paper-like creative experience while also cramming in modern tech. The latest to join the party comes in the shape of a color E Ink tablet called the Bigme B7.

Reading and writing on regular tablets can be tiring for your eyes, which is where E Ink can help. But colors often appear washed out and page refresh isn't exactly smooth. XPPen has launched an ePaper note device with three color levels and fast refresh.

Tablet-sized e-notes are great for when you feel the need to jot or doodle but don't want to waste paper. Fujitsu has been in the E Ink slate game since 2019, but its Quaderno models have so far been monochrome only. That's changed with the A4 3rd Gen.

With help from small tracking gadgets plus the ubiquitous smartphone, we can now keep tabs on our belongings – wherever they may be. Now a startup is crowdfunding a nifty tag that includes an E Ink screen to display contact details and photos in color.

For the past few years, we've seen a bunch of e-readers and e-notes featuring E Ink's Kaleido 3 technology. But if you thought that this color ePaper was limited to handheld devices, think again. E Ink has now shown off 75-inch outdoor displays.

Walls in many homes play host to art prints or family photos, but refreshing your collection can be a pain. Thanks to a nifty tap-to-print feature and color ePaper technology, the Reflection Frame updates imagery in seconds and is easy on the eyes.
