Thermal prints on the move with 'world's tiniest' Bluetooth printer

By Nick Mansell on Mon 29 September 2008

Plan On PrintstickIf you like your documents to feel like till receipts and can't get enough of that 'marked by a hot coffee mug' look, then you'll love Plan On's new tiny portable printer, the Printstik.

Dubbed the world's smallest Bluetooth-enabled printer it measures a measly 25x48x280mm and will work with both laptops and smartphones. It takes thermal paper (hence the till receipt reference) in 8.5in-wide rolls, 20 pages long and packs enough battery power to print off 30 pages.

It weighs in at a laptop bag friendly 700g and will chuck out three pages a minute so we're told. It's available now for £199 - including your first 20-page roll.

I blogged on this a while back and really its a bit more of a gimmick, or a mobile receipt printer than anything else. Especially the necessity of buying special thermal paper to work with it. Nevertheless I guess it fills a market niche.My posthttp://www.electricvagabond.com/2008/09/ultra-mobile-is-new-non-mobile-it-would.html

Indeed - I can't see a clamour for such a printer. The last thermal printer I used was attached to a ZX Spectrum!
