Mini Giant is a robotic printer concept that self-drives itself over a ZINK Paper sheet of any size in order to create a print. The main benefit of the ZINK technology is, it doesn’t require ribbons and ink cartridges. The designer has replaced the ink cartridges and ribbons with a heating system that can radically change its shape. Instead of using large scale paper into the printer, this concept brings this special type of paper laid on any smooth and hard surface. Mini giant is placed on the up left corner of a selected image and it will automatically move slowly on the paper surface. The back side heating place heats the portion it comes over and thus activates the ZINK paper’s crystals. With this small gadget, you can have a large format poster printer right in the palm of your hand.

I am very interested in the article that you serve. Includes display your website. Thank you
curious, is it the same system as the receipts they give you at a super market? paper reacts to heat. but i seems it prints in black and white. does this technology applies to color printing as well? if so then that would be really cool thing to have. especially for a art student.
Very informative post.
Thanks for giving information about new technology.
Yes, it is very impressive. And welcome the people in the printer cartridge industry contact me if you want to import toner cartriedges.
