A label printer that's hip and square

Juniper Foo | Jun 30, 2008

Forget Dynamo. That handheld click-clacking label printer doesn't hold a ticker tape to this appealingly hip-to-be-square version, which we bet will add avante garde status to any cubicle drone's desk. When close, it's rather reminiscent of the mysterious monolith in Stanley Kubrick's seminal 2001: A Space Odyssey. But press a little black button, and up pops the seamless lid to expose a monochrome LCD screen and keyboard. The sticker even comes out from a discreetly tiny slit in the side.

Just too bad it's sold only in Japan since the King Jim Tepra Pro SR600 Label Writer (23,940 yen, US$221) does English, too, with a choice of fonts and sizes. Takes six AA batteries or plugs in to the mains. The only problem we can foresee is whether the hinge can take all that abuse as you get a kick opening and closing the lid.
