Company invents wireless pocket-sized printer


MANILA, Philippines — A technology company based in Israel is now seeking funding to roll out a pocket-sized printer that can be used through a smartphone application.

The device, dubbed as the Mini Mobile Robotic Printer, is no larger than a small perfume bottle and spills ink on the paper as it rolls over every line of text or image. The only downside is that the device it not as fast as conventional laser printers, which prints 10-20 pages a minute compared to the mobile printer’s measly 1.2 pages a minute. The company, however, is banking on the mobility of their product as they seek funding at the Kickstarter website.

“Our printer is entirely fitted for our day-to-day life. It has a rechargeable battery with a on/off switch, it connects directly to smartphones and to PCs and it allows the user to print on any size of paper,” Zuta Labs said on its project brief.
