It'd work better if they got it to print on the outside and you didn't have to fit it through the holding ring. Pressure would keep the paper fairly stable.

That looks great!

It's probably a better design than the cheap printers you get nowadays, I mean HP have a lot to answer for with there Deskjet range - nice and cheap, but I'd be very surprised to find one over a year old that still works.

It is fiddly and awkward, but it's tiny as well - so consider the alternatives for portable printing and that mad little round printer is a pretty decent option.

"This circular-type portable concept printer responds to a real need for business travelers and challenges engineers to make it a reality. Using rotational, instead of linear, movement to obtain a truly portable design, printer size is reduced by one-third.

Light and compact.
Slim, rounded lines impart an image of durability and portability.
"This is a fresh and novel design solution to the long standing pursuit of printing anywhere, anytime. Focusing on making the printer compact and portable also broadens the possibilities for where printer technology can or should be pushed. This truly provokes, challenges, and sparks the imagination; a revolutionary design…literally. Samsung…please build this!" - Christopher Alviar, IDSA, Principal, CG/A"

Feel free to read the website yourself, next time.

Looks tricky to get the paper in. Oh well, everything is piled up on my workstation, but at least everything fits without one of those.

A friend of mine likes to take photos, enhance and print out on his HP photo Deskjet. He hasn't yet found 2 HP printers that print the same colours - quite important when you're selling to the photo-printing consumer.

And costs a freakin fortune in cartridges ...

I worked out that I can justifiably replace each HP Deskjet at work with £150 laser printers, and it'd pay for itself within a year.

But that's a lot of work so stuff that!

With even the cheapest laser printers, a cartridge costs £50 - but prints 6,000 pages before needing replaced. To print 6,000 pages on an Deskjet would be untold misery and expense .

pity colour laser printers are so expensive and not classed as "Photo" quality, you realy need better than 600x500 dpi for photos.

Mini ATX cases suck.
