Printers are clunky. No matter how streamlined companies try to make them, printers still take up a nice chunk of space in any setting. And to add insult to injury, the noise is almost as irritating as nails on a chalkboard. Like it or not, you have to suck it up if you constantly have to print out documents. Until the world goes totally paperless that big, bulky piece of tech is here to stay, lording over our workspace with a smugness that can only be described as repugnant. Or is it?

British company PrintDreams may have just answered my prayers to the tech gods with their new product. Called the PrintBrush, it’s being marketed as the smallest printing device in the world. A handheld device, PrintBrush can print on almost any flat surface including cloth, napkins, and in spiraled notebooks. The device utilizes PrintDreams Random Movement Printing Technology (RMPT). This technology uses advanced sensor technology to transfer downloaded data to the specified media by simply waving the PrintBrush back and forth.

The PrintBrush isn’t a new idea. Apparently, Gizmodo has been following the devices progress since 2003. Set to release in 2010, this device could revolutionize the printing industry. It has a resolution of 600dpi monochrome, has a maximum speed of 250mm/sec, and will be powered by a rechargable Li-Ion battery. I can’t really tell how content is downloaded to this uber-portable printer, but If I had to make an educated guess, I’d say there’s probably a USB cable somewhere in the mix, but since the site says “no wires, no cables, no mess!!”, this is still an unsolved mystery. The portable printer will be retailing for $199 making it a bit pricey, but if it can deliver the goods, I don’t think anyone will be complaining.

Seven years is a long time to wait for a gadget this sweet. Hopefully when it debuts next year, it can live up to the hype.

Would you buy the PrintBrush? Yay or nay in the comments section.
