Too little space on the desk, paper jams, empty ink, or simply nothing working at all - these are just some of the problems that printers often encounter. The three main problems are: the size, the complexity and the negative emotional attachment to this product. SMÅ solves these issues by relocating the technology inside to a vertical form. As a result, SMÅ requires significantly less space than conventional printers. Additionally, paper can be stored directly in the printer without the need to expand the space around it. If the ink runs out, this is indicated by a subtle LED light, and the body can be easily slid upwards to change the ink or clear a paper jam. By reducing manual operation, only the most essential functions such as On/Off, Stop, and a button for initial manual setup remain on the printer itself, located at the back. The remaining settings are adjusted in the printer's software.
