Book Printer [designer: Moonhwan Park]
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to print wherever you go? The Book Printer is a super compact printer in the shape of a book. IT uses bluetooth to connect with compatible devices and measures a modest 5 x 25.7 x 18.2 cm.
Stick POP [designers: Jihun Kang, Youngho Lee, Jieun Lee & Changsu Lee]
Stick POP is a portable printer that can handle a small amount of load. You can't overburden it with all your documents, just a small stash that you need pronto. Measuring 23cm by 6cm, it's easy to fit in your handbag. Just hook it up to your computer/device via USB and get printing! An OLED screen on the bar displays the printing status.
The Sophie [designer: Mac Funamizu]
The iPhone dock/case prints photos just like a Polaroid. A QR code and geo tagged map can also be printed to link it to a digital version somewhere on the web like Flickr. Clever and simple.
RO [designer: Daniel Kussmaul]
Envisage a future where printers are microscopic and an army of robots print anything you want. It's called RO. At least 100 nanobots are stored in four base station which also serve as ink cartridges for each of the four printing colours (CMYK). The base stations adhere to every surface. By relocating the stations, the printing area can be set and scaled to size. When the printing system is activated, the print job is projected onto the designated area by a laser beamer. During the printing process, the nanobots merge together and form printing grids.
