A printer that sits on your notebook lid

Leonard Goh | Mar 05, 2008

While the image of a printer has always been a beige and bulky contraception that takes up too much space on the desk, designer Hung Chih Wang wants to change that by introducing Trak.

His mobile printer fits comfortably on the back of the screen of a notebook and is powered by USB, so there are no messy power cables looping around. The printer head is detachable, and zips along a track on the printer itself to get the job done.

The pictures on the Web show black-and-white printouts, but we hope a color version will come out soon. With a detachable printhead, this shouldn't be a difficult task.

While it seems that this is still in development, we can see Trak going a long way as an indispensable companion for road warriors who need to get work done while on the road.
