VIA, a handheld printer and scanner, is designed to reduce the pain points of conventional printing while bringing excitement to the process. VIA’s design reduces the footprint to 8.5 inches. By making the user the driving force behind the printer, paper jams are avoided and points of failure are lessened. VIA uses wide printhead technology so prints can be achieved in a single stroke. It can print on nearly any smooth, flat surface, allowing for optimized and creative uses, such as printing shipping labels directly on boxes. The touch screen provides simple interactions, guided printing, and print previews.
