A Portable Printer for Your Smartphone

It’s easy enough to create and share text and images on your smartphone. But sometimes there’s no substitute for a hard copy—and chances are you won’t be near a printer when you need one. Those stone-age office machines from hell are often sequestered in inconvenient copy shops...and it seems that when you do find one of these relics, it’s either broken, jammed, or painfully slow.

With a new gadget called droPrinter, your days of emailing documents to a PC for printing may be numbered. This portable printer—fully funded on Kickstarter in just a few days—spits out anything you can display on a smartphone.
