The Artefact ‘See What You Print’ allows the user to preview documents before they're printed -- on its own touchscreen! Even though the preview option exists on programs like [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-officejet-pro-8210-printer) Word, this version is way more accurate because it will show you exactly how it will appear on the piece of paper. The [touchscreen feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n2thermal-printer) also allows the user to adjust and arrange layouts to their liking. Want to print pictures out of a digital camera without turning on the computer? This printer will connect wirelessly to the camera, and it can even connect to [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heygears) and Flickr to print photos. This is only a concept, but this is one printer I don’t think anyone would mind having. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Preview Printing:** The trend of preview printing allows users to see exactly how a document will appear on paper before printing, improving accuracy and reducing waste. - **Touchscreen Integration:** The integration of touchscreens in printers opens up opportunities for users to adjust and arrange layouts to their liking, enhancing customization options. - **Wireless Connectivity:** The trend of wireless connectivity in printers enables seamless connection to digital cameras and social media platforms for convenient printing. ### Where This Applies - **Printing:** The printing industry can leverage the trend of preview printing to offer more accurate and efficient printing solutions to businesses and individuals. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore the integration of touchscreens in printers to enhance user experience and attract tech-savvy customers. - **Photography:** The photography industry can benefit from printers with wireless connectivity to provide a seamless and convenient printing experience for photographers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freestyle Desktop Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-printer-device.md) - [Advanced Tap-to-Print Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-pixlab-x1.md) - [Subtle Smartphone-Friendly Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-image-box.md) - [Industrial Handheld Printer Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scribe-handheld-printer.md) - [Paper-Saving Printer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roller-jet-printer.md) - [Artwork-Friendly Smartphone Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-instax-mini-link-plus.md) - [Stylish Intelligent Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse-office-printer.md) - [Video Screen-Integrated Thermal Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n2thermal-printer.md) - [At-Home Hobbyist Screen Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeblock-xtool-screen-printer.md)
