Kickstarter Project ‘Pocket Printer’ Lets You Print On the Go

Mobile printing is finally here, thanks to a Kickstarter project called the Pocket Printer by Zuta Labs.

As its name implies, it is a printer that will be small enough to fit into your pocket, meaning, you will be able to take it with you wherever you go and get stuff printed on the fly.

The device will pack a set of omnidirectional wheels that will allow it to roll across surfaces, like paper, and with an inkjet printer head, it will help you print documents without requiring the entire printer setup. For multiple pages, the printer will stop at the end of one, then wait for you to pick it up and put it down on the next.

Unsurprisingly, its convenience comes with some limitations: the Pocket Printer can only print 1.2 pages a minute which is extremely slow compared to regular printers. It also has a resolution of 96 x 192 dpi which means it’s not exactly the sharpest printer on the market either.

The Pocket Printer runs on a rechargeable battery with an on/off switch, that is good for an hour of print time. Its ink cartridge is also only good for 1,000 standard pages.

Now the folks behind the Pocket Printer are asking for a $400,000 in pledges and have so far managed to raise $100,000. If you’d like to learn more or pledge your donation, hit up its Kickstarter page for the details.
