Hand-Held Wall Printers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Design Tool Lets You Print Graphics Directly onto Your Wall

— June 27, 2015 — Art & Design
An industrial design student named Benjamin Loinger has created this amazing wall printer that is used to produce designs and graphics directly onto your wall. The design tool is called 'Printtex.'

Printtex is a hand-held wall printer that connects to your phone or computer so you can easily upload a design you want to print onto the wall. The printer focuses on the space you want to print and aligns itself through formatting technology. The space will appear on your phone or computer to show you exactly where the image will be printed, how big it will be and what colors will appear.

This innovative tool eliminates the hassle of wallpaper or primer and paint by simply printing the design you want just like an ink-jet printer. You can customize the machine to print any graphic, image or design concept. The ultimate goal for this fascinating tool is to lend it out to people through a rental service.
Trend Themes
1. Hand-held Printing - The development of portable printing technology is disrupting the traditional stationary printing industry
2. Direct-to-wall Printing - Direct-to-wall printing technology eliminates the need for traditional wallpaper and paint and is posing a threat to the interior design industry
3. Customization - The ability to easily upload any design and print it onto a wall is disrupting the product customization industry
Industry Implications
1. Printing - The printing industry can benefit from the development of portable printing tools like Printtex to cater to on-the-go printing needs
2. Interior Design - The use of direct-to-wall printing technology poses a threat to the interior design industry as it eliminates the need for traditional paint and wallpaper
3. Rental Services - The rental service industry can benefit from the development of tools like Printtex for people who want to use it occasionally instead of investing in one
