This space saving, Ultra Awesome Printer completely rocks my world. I have no idea why it wasnt marketed, I would have bought one.

I imagine that paper feeding is probably the biggest challenge. It appears to handle one sheet at a time, and do you have to roll the paper to get it to feed in just right?
Pretty slick thinking though.

Reminds me of the fax machines from the 1970's.

I was thinking just the same thing. As much as it would save space and look really cool, if it isn't practical then it is of no use whatsoever.

How would it print double sided Documents?

That would have some pretty crazy feed issues. I wouldn't want to manually insert every page for a ten page document. It wouldn't be too hard to put a feed tray on it though. Kind of defeating the purpose of the whole thing I suppose.

I want one too! Those look so cool!

On the feeding issue, that would be easy to solve, you buy the paper in rolls (11 inches wide x X-inches in lenght)and if you can incorporate a blade to cut the paper when it is done printing (to 8.5 inches) you wouldn't have to worry about manually feeding sheets for a X-page document.

The next issue would be un-curling the paper!

It has any heat residual then when it falls out of the printer it would flatten itself out. It might still have a little bit of curl left.

I thought of the same issues as TBA and Lark, of course I would also be standing there in total awe of it wondering how it worked. Never mind one paper at a time. This is cool!

Just what we need for printing our circulars.
Brilliant. This guy should be on strike.
