The pocket printer.
Say ‘pocket printer’ and you might be forced to imagine some
pretty huge pockets. That’s because, even at their slimmest and lightest,
printers are still big pieces of technology and are hardly portable, not even
for the giant who owns those huge pockets. However, following a successful
Kickstarter campaign and around 18 months of development, the Mini Mobile
Robotic Printer will soon be in possession of backers.
The printer itself is a marvel to behold; a small robotic
device that slowly ‘drives’ over a sheet of paper, any size, while printing text
and pictures. Controlled by a smartphone app, the Mini Mobile Robotic Printer
can be placed on any flat surface and ordered to print something. This means no
more searching around for a printer (one you can connect to) when you need to
print something, as you can simply whip out the bot, set it down on a sheet of
A4, and set it going.
From what developers ZUtA Labs say, the final product should
be ready by December. Find out more at www.zutalabs.com
