The PrintStik is a tiny USB thermal printer, how tiny? As long as an A4 sheet of paper and weighing 60 grams (2 oz). It’s battery powered and connects to your PC via USB or Bluetooth and can print at 3 pages per minute so you won’t be printing your thesis on it. The paper is housed in a cartridge which holds 20 sheets and it prints at 100 – 400 dpi, although one model will do 600 dpi. Prices vary but they start at US$199.99 and go up to US$349.99
The PlanOn PrintStik provides a unique solution for mobile executives, field workers, students, and anyone who prints away from the office. Using this revolutionary small, battery-operated printer, you can print regular-sized sheets of paper anywhere. There’s no need for external power or messy ink cartridges. PrintStik is self-contained, and connects to your laptop or smartphone through USB or Bluetooth (selected models).
