An Israeli start-up plans to release a printer early next year that is small enough to fit inside its owner's pocket but works with any-sized paper.

     Zuta Labs is proceeding with the project after raising over $435,000 (£260,000) via a crowdfunding site. Rather than feeding paper through a machine, the project fits an ink cartridge to a small robot that crawls over a document to create it. However, its relatively slow speed may limit its appeal.
     The current prototype can only print about one page per minute in greyscale and offers a significantly lower resolution than traditional desktop inkjets. But the Jerusalem-based engineers said they hoped to make improvements before the first devices shipped to backers of the Kickstarter campaign in January.
