Young Israeli scientists from the Zuta laboratory of the Jerusalem Technical University have developed an unusual device. This is a small, portable inkjet printer that can easily fit in the palm of your hand. Its dimensions are really amazing: height - 10 cm, and diameter - 11.5 cm with a weight of about 300 grams. It is made of high quality polycarbonate.

Of interest are not only the dimensions of the printer, but also its mechanism. Designers thought over the design of the device's casing so that it was convenient to attach it to the beginning of the sheet and start printing. For this, one of the edges of the device is made sharp. Below are two wheels with which the gadget itself accurately moves on a flat sheet of paper. There is also a print head with ink, which is activated after switching the shutter, which protects the inside of the printer.
It is important that the device is equipped with sensors for stabilization and is able to work with any paper size. At the same time, the quality and clarity of the printed text does not suffer worse than that of office counterparts.
The printing speed of the innovative gadget is 1.2 pages of text per minute, and the resolution is 96 * 192 pixels per inch. The device is powered by a lithium battery, which provides about an hour of continuous printing. Charging lasts approximately 3 hours. One cartridge provides printing of 1000 pages.
Reference! The gadget is controlled from a mobile or stationary device using a Bluetooth wireless connection. The printer supports the operating systems Android, Windows, IOS, Linux.
