IBM portable printer

#1 Post by Andersonjoe711 » Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:15 pm

Does IBM make a printer that is portable enough to transport in a notebook size case, or even in a case with a notebook?

If they make such a thing, would it be an inkjet, or a laserjet?

IBM contracted a printer from Citizen some time ago called the 5183. They are neither inkjet or laser, they used a dry ribbon-tape that fused on the paper. It's pretty compact and even had a Ni-Cad battery to use on the go!

It'd be darned hard to find these days though! :?
