- Small -printer simplifies printing with only three buttons and a single joint for status updates
- The top feed paper design saves desktop space while holding up to 120 sheets reliably
- Maintenance is intuitive, allowing replacement with a hand without spill or awkward handling
Our printers have long been seen as voluminous, frustrating gadgets that take up too much desk space and often require complicated maintenance.
The small printer, designed by Jakob Höxtermann, challenges these assumptions with a design that emphasizes simplicity, sustainability and compactness.
Unlike many home and business printers, built with glued components, use small screws to keep its parts together, making it easier to take apart and recycle at the end of his life.
Streamlined functionality – not for vigorous printing
Traditional printers often overwhelm users with buttons, menus and unclear indicators.
Small simplifies this with only three buttons: power, stop and a setup option for occasional adjustments.
A single LED communicates the status of the printer using intuitive colors so that users can know immediately when everything is ready when ink needs to be replaced or when a paper stop occurs.
The design of this printer encourages reduced paper and ink consumption, while its straightforward interface makes it easy to operate.
Do you remember the Panasonic SP-70 and SPV series with a vertical screen printer? The small printer recreates this vertical layout that separates it visually and functionally from standard horizontal design.
By feeding paper from the top, small valuable desk space retains and also offers storage for up to 120 sheets without the need for additional trays.
A transparent extension ensures that stacked paper remains stable, which is a subtle but practical feature often overlooked in other printers.
Maintenance is just straightforward: Replacing ink involves lifting the outer shell and sliding in a new cartridge with one hand, avoiding messy spills or awkward handling.
Visually, small ones adopt a minimalist style with soft edges that are naturally mixed in modern home or office environments.
It does not dominate a desk or appear as an industrial tool, which can make it easier to integrate into spaces where aesthetics matter.
This printer pushes intuitity and can be set with smartphones or PCs.
That said, this device does not include advanced features found in advanced business printers and will not meet heavy needs.
