PrintDreams launches smallest mobile printer
SWEDEN -- PrintDreams, the developer of the Random Movement
Printing technology (RMPTTM) recently released the PrintBrush,
the world's smallest and only fully format-independent
printer.
The
printer has the length of a normal ballpoint pen while
its width and height are more or less equivalent to
the width of a modern mobile phone. The total volume
is less than 300cc and weights around 350g. Designed
to roughly fit into a shirt pocket, the first version
of PrintBrush shows a clear potential for size and weight
reduction in coming versions that will allow an even
more comfortable fit.
Internet
content, SMS, pictures and other information is downloaded
to the PrintBrush from PDAs, mobile phones and laptop
computers through a Bluetooth link. Then, by following
the RMPTTM principle, the device is hand operated by
sweeping it across any type of print media, no matter
its shape, size or thickness. The printout will then
start to appear right behind the sweeps. The device
takes into account all thinkable parameters of the hand
movement, including rotation and sudden changes of speed
and acceleration. The result image on the printed media
is always very much alike its digital counterpart.
Since
its the first display at the CeBIT in Hannover, Germany,
the RMPTTM technology has evolved considerably. The
company released its OptoNav sensor recently which is
an accurate optical navigation sensor aimed to push
further the RMPTTM technology into a greater level of
print quality and performance.
Jan
Erik Hedborg, CEO, PrintDreams, said: "PrintDreams
business model is to license RMPTTM technology to OEMs
that will develop, manufacture and distribute the final
products under their own brand name. We have, during
the last year, established contacts with global manufacturers
that recognise the potential in RMPTTM-based printer
products for various applications. The PrintBrush represents
an essential step in our go to market plan by demonstrating
performance and functionality that meets user expectation
for a truly mobile printer."
