Preparation of photo-printing device and operation of photo-printing Putting polystyrene (PS, 1.5 g), DASA-azo (2 mg) and styrene (3 ml) in a vessel, then stirring and heating the mixture until it became uniform. Afterwards, 7 ml dichloromethane was added to dilute the polymer solution. A solution of DASA-azo and PS in dichloromethane and styrene solvents was casted on a glass substrate. After complete evaporation of the solvents, a translucent thin PS film with corresponding colors was formed. Cover the film with hollow-out photo-mask of different pattern, then exposure to visible light for 4 min, the image of PS film can be erased in 5 min by heating at 8 o C. The procedure of photo-printing (write/erase) was displayed in Scheme. S2. Scheme S2. Illustrations of photo-printing operation.
