A UK company, PrintDreams, is currently preparing the release of a new product called the PrintBrush. The handheld printer is said to be the smallest printing device in the world and can print full size formats (A4 or letter size). It’s about the size of a modern mobile phone and weighs in at roughly 12 ounces. The device uses Bluetooth technology to receive documents from a variety of mobile devices.
