Physical Keepsake Message Printers

The 'MEMOBIRD' Prints Messages from Anywhere in the World

— November 9, 2017 — Tech
We overwhelmingly utilize our smartphones and computers for communication these days, so the 'MEMOBIRD' printer has been created to offer users the ability to create physical keepsakes whenever desired.

The printer works by incorporating a compact size that can be used anywhere from the home to the office and offering a connection to the Internet that lets it receive messages from friends and family. This makes it ideal for seniors and offering a charming way to receive messages from those you care about the most.

The 'MEMOBIRD' printer works like a receipt printer and doesn't require ink, but rather uses rolls of paper as the main compartment that needs to be refilled with continued use. The printer can be activated in seconds to receive messages from those in the same city, on the other side of the planet and everywhere in between.
Trend Themes
1. Physical Keepsake Message Printers - The 'MEMOBIRD' printer has potential to expand to offer custom designs and graphics for a more tailored and personalized keepsake experience
2. Compact, Internet-connected Printers - Developers can create more applications for printers like 'MEMOBIRD' that allow users to print from their phones and share messages with friends and family in a unique, personalized way
3. Digital-to-physical Printing Technology - Innovators can use the printing technology behind 'MEMOBIRD' to create other digital-to-physical products and services, expanding on the idea of turning virtual content into tangible keepsakes
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies could integrate the digital-to-physical printing technology of 'MEMOBIRD' into their products for an additional value-added feature
2. Stationery and Greeting Cards - Stationery companies can take advantage of the personalized printing capabilities of 'MEMOBIRD' and explore the possibility of creating custom greeting card experiences
3. E-commerce and Retail - Online and brick-and-mortar retailers can introduce 'MEMOBIRD' printers as a unique and novel way for customers to interact with loved ones digitally and physically
