Designer Hung Chih Wang thinks the inkjet printer market has room for an ultra-mobile concept: his "Trak" design is a mini printer that snaps onto the lid of your laptop. Handy for hardcopies on-the-go, it's small enough to be USB powered and even has a detachable print head for easy travel storage. There's no mention of how you keep the ink from spilling in your bag, but that should please those dollar-craving ink manufacturers, eh? [Yanko design]

Woosim Waterproof Printer Will Give you Tickets
Woomsim's upcoming 3-inch roll paper printer won't do anything for you, except probably give you your next speed limit ticket. But we like it because of its bright orange jacket and because it reminds us of Domokun, the Cyclops Version. Look at those teeth. That thing is hungry. For your money. [Red Ferrett and Aving]

Our current complaint with our printer is that it takes up too much space around the office, both in the horizontal and the vertical, that we need one individual shelf just to accommodate the thing. Enter the Hanging Printer. It's a standard printer, yes, but hangs off the side of your desk in order to save on clutter and to keep printouts within reach. We don't see any downside to this.

Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One Printer Has Software Facial Retouch
The Pitch: Kodak's ESP 3 all-in-one printer, which has a nice black finish and a software feature for facial retouching with "one click" that "reduces blemishes" and enhances facial features. They also claim that it saves 50% ink when compared to similar inkjet printers.
The Catch: It's hard to tell exactly what the 50% ink savings means without comparing it to other printers ourselves, but the one-touch facial retouching is good if you're no good at photoshop (like me).
Polaroid Cellphone Printer Uses Zink Tech
Zink's zero-ink technology was developed in Polaroid labs, so its nice seeing the tech making it back to its home marquee. More on Zink's cellphone printer and camera with the printer built in, here.

Zink Pocket Printer: iPhone Companion?
Polaroid is not dead yet. Apparently it was only sleeping, but now its research labs have smelled the coffee and spun off Zink, a company whose first product will be a stand-alone printer that's about the size of a deck of cards. This one-button printer is designed to easily connect to a camera phone, and will cost less than a hundred bucks. More »

Ultraportable Printer Does Wireless
It's not often we write about printers here on the Giz, but Brother's new MPrint MW-260 gets honorable mention for being the world's thinnest printer. It can print up to 20 pages per minute from any PC, Pocket PC, or Windows Mobile handheld. Best of all, it also prints over Bluetooth (in addition to your standard USB). No word on pricing or availability, but this is a 1-pound printer we wouldn't mind adding to our travel bag. More »

Xerox Reinvents Paper, Trees Rejoice
Not to be confused with the spy paper we showed you a few months back, the brainiacs at Xerox have invented a new self-erasable paper that fades to white after 24 hours. The invention "came from developing compounds that change color when they absorb a certain wavelength of light but then will gradually disappear." The paper is reusable though it appears you'll need a special printer to get images on to it. I can see this working in the newspaper industry and such, but I can also see a ton of scam artists making people sign contracts that "change" over night. More »

Konica Minolta C250 Pimps Your Bizhub
This is what happens when you give a hippie a screwdriver, a budget and a directive to redesign your office. Konica Minolta claims this prototype bizhub mish-mash will increase productivity and decrease stress levels, but if I had to stare at a psychedelic coffee pot slash retro lamp slash printerscannerfaxmachine every day, I'd throw myself out a window. Is there actually a serious company out there that would consider this affront to eyesight a useful tool? This may fit in with the culture in Tommy Chong's paper supply firm, but this abomination can't be the wave of the future, can it? More »

Presto Printer, Delivering E-mail to Geezers Everywhere
E-mailing our Luddite family members has never been as easy as it should be, especially when grandma still insists the Internet is a series of tubes. Enter the HP Presto. This sucker instantly prints incoming e-mails so grandma-ma can focus on drinking her prune juice instead of having to remember her screenname and password. The printer debuts next month for $150 bucks (service is $10/month or $100/year). Kinda pricey if you ask us. Sorry, grandma. We don't love you that much. More »

KODAK Photo Printer 500 Hands On
More exciting than the jump up in their digital camera lineup may be Kodak's hot little portable Photo Printer 500 that's compatible with just about every digital media card out there-and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The smaller than a breadbox (how big is a breadbox, anyway? Let's say smaller than an Aquaman lunchbox) printer has slots for SD, MMC, CF, and xD cards on its front, a USB port on the side and generates pretty durable 4X6 prints on paper seemingly identical to what's used in C-41 processing. At the product demo on a boat that traveled around Manhattan in the driving rain yesterday, grenadine that was poured onto a photo of me (that I had intended to send to my mother) wiped right off. The Bluetooth partnering was a little problematic at this press unveiling, but the rough water on the East river from the driving rain during the launch (Get it? Launch? I kill me.) had the lights dimming a little bit and the straining inverter may have been to blame. The not-ready for prime-time beta models I worked on (final product ships October 4) froze up a couple of times, but the prints that it did produce were fast (done in about a minute) rich, and, well, frameable. An image Blue-beamed in from a Razr and printed was surprisingly credible. More »
