It's a Lexmark. When I was working there last year, they were developing it for OEM customers. I actually played with the prototype for a while. It was basically a plain yellow plastic version of what's pictured.

right - std feed printers have a tendency to mangle delecate paper (vellum, newsprint). Also, I'm not sure where you buy your printers, but mine don't come with a setting for wood and fabric. Excellent product, now lets bump it up and make one that prints something like 3x3"

This is just the thing to help launch (get ready for shameless promotion) the Virtual Mailing Address System (see my web site). Instead of an actual physical mailing address, people have a virtual address that could look something like an email address. One issue is potential misreads from handwritten virtual addresses. Currently the USPS has optical readers that read handwriting, but there is a name, zip code and street to help them when a reading error occurs. This device and potentially others would enable people (doctors and others with poor handwriting) to easily print virtual addresses on envelopes.

Hmmm I can see modern tagers using this to print their tags (albeit tiny) directly onto buses, bldgs and signs!
