The Portable 'Mini Mobile' Printer Doesn't Need Stacks of Paper

The Mini Mobile is an unbelievably small, portable and ingenious robotic printer that works by moving across the surface of a piece of paper, rather than needing to have stacks of paper loaded to it. Designed by Zuta Labs of Israel, the gadget is perfect for people who want to be able to print on the go without having to need to access a full-sized printer.

The Mini Mobile printer uses an omni-wheel system that allows it to steadily and accurately move across the sheet of paper that it is printing on. Its current prototype can print at a speed of 1.2 pages per minute at a resolution up to 96 x 192 dpi (dots per inch), although the developers are working on enabling higher resolution printing. The device can run for an hour on a full charge, which takes about three hours to achieve.
