# Miniature Lightweight Printers The Primera Trio All-In-One Printer Was Outed At CES 2015 By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-01-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primera-trio References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/primera-worlds-smallest-lightest-all-in-one-printer/35512/) & [primeratrio](http://www.primeratrio.com/) The Primera Trio is a printer that is so small and lightweight that many CES 2015 attendees might have missed it altogether. This incredible machine weighs just 2.7 pounds and is about the size of a hardcover book, making it the world's smallest all-in-one printer. It's an inkjet printer that can work with color or monochrome cartridges and is capable of printing on paper up to A4 size at 4,800 dpi. The printer is equipped with a print head that rotates into the 'up' position when ready for use, but can be folded and stored away to prevent cartridge ink leakage or to prevent general damage during transportation. The Primera Trio is available for pre-order in select stores for $399.95 and is expected to ship in February. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Miniature Printers:** The trend of creating tiny, lightweight printers offers portability and convenience for on-the-go printing needs. - **All-in-one Printers:** The trend of combining multiple functions into a single device simplifies office equipment and minimizes required desk space. - **Compact Technology:** The trend of developing small yet powerful devices allows for greater versatility and mobility in both personal and professional settings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Printing Industry:** The development of smaller printers with the same printing capabilities provides opportunities for creation of more portable products. - **Mobile Technology Industry:** Thinner and lighter devices make it easier for users to work on-the-go, creating opportunities for integration of technology into daily lifestyles and expanded mobile hardware markets. - **Office Equipment Industry:** All-in-one printers and compact technology allow for reduced office space usage and consolidation of equipment, creating opportunities in efficiency and cost reduction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Compact Photo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultracompact-photo-printer.md) - [Miniature AI-Powered Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a1-mini.md) - [Pocket-Sized Smartphone Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-instant-photo-printer.md) - [Portable Selfie Printer Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selphy-qx20.md) - [Paper Waste Reduction Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-printer-concept.md) - [Palm-Sized 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-source-3d-printer.md) - [High-Performance Label Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primera-lx4000-color-label-printer.md) - [Industrial Handheld Printer Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scribe-handheld-printer.md) - [Remote Work-Oriented Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxify.md)
