With the flexible, reflective displays like "electronic paper" 
now in development we will get closer to that final look of the 
print. On the other hand it may even replace the print on the 
wall. Ironically there's often a special inkjet printer involved 
in the production of the displays.

A friend of my son told me yesterday that he was working on a 
related project with organic displays at Philips Nat Lab, that's 
what reminded me of the possibilities.
