MEMS is an acronym for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems. It’s the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. Some observers predict that MEMS will revolutionize nearly every product category by bringing together silicon-based microelectronics with micromachining technology.
Kodak’s use of MEMS has allowed them to move the most expensive part of the ink cartridge—the replaceable print head—into the printer. That means that consumers no longer have to buy a new print head each time they buy an ink cartridge. Consequently, Kodak’s new ink cartridges sell for half the price of its competitors’, says Kodak.
