World’s First Handheld Printer


PrintDreams, the developer of the Random Movement Printing technology (RMPT), has announced the release of PrintBrush, the world’s smallest and only fully format-independent printer.
The printer has the length of a normal ballpoint pen while its width and height are more or less equivalent to the width of a modern mobile phone. The total volume is less than 300 c.c. and weights around 350 grams. This first version of PrintBrush was designed to roughly fit into a shirt pocket while it still remains a clear potential for size and weight reduction in coming versions that will allow an even more comfortable fit.
If you wanted something printed, you’d have to go to a printer, or perhaps bring along a “portable” printer. Beyond that, the components that make up desktop printers, at best, have an awful lot of moving and electro-mechanical parts. But all that’s changed. Introducing PrintBrush from PrintDreams. It’s a hand-held printer that you wave like a wand over a variety of different surfaces, and it silently outputs your printed material. Imagine needing a printout for a meeting without ever having to get up to excuse yourself, or printing information in a notebook or on a package. It’s effortless, efficient and amazing.
The device takes into account all thinkable parameters of the hand movement, including rotation and sudden changes of speed and acceleration. The result image on the printed media is always very much alike its digital counterpart.
The PrintBrush will be by far the smallest printer device in the world that can print full size formats (A4 or letter size). It is now possible to print directly in notebooks or other media that would never fit into a conventional printer device. It will also be completely silent allowing you to print during meetings, classes, in libraries, etc.  No wires, no cables, no mess!
