The Primera Trio is a printer that is so small and lightweight that many CES 2015 attendees might have missed it altogether. This incredible machine weighs just 2.7 pounds and is about the size of a hardcover book, making it the world's smallest all-in-one printer. It's an inkjet printer that can work with color or monochrome cartridges and is capable of printing on paper up to A4 size at 4,800 dpi.
The printer is equipped with a print head that rotates into the 'up' position when ready for use, but can be folded and stored away to prevent cartridge ink leakage or to prevent general damage during transportation.
The Primera Trio is available for pre-order in select stores for $399.95 and is expected to ship in February.
