The Circle Printer
One of the most annoying computer peripheral on anyone’s desk is the printer. It’s noisy, it vibrates and it takes up so much space! Which is why I’m all for innovations that look at minimizing size without losing functionality. ‘Circle’ is one such attempt that has impressed me. One look and you won’t even realize that it’s a printer, looks more like humidifier or a fancy pot. Wish that manufacturers would look in this direction too; HP are you listening?
Designer: Yang Jae Wook

I want my paper to come out flat and straight.

paper jam waiting to happen>?
James says
Lovely concept design with some wonderful renders. About as practical as a chocolate teapot but still nice to see. Can you imagine trying to curl 50+ sheets into it and keep them all lined up; or on the reverse side, having to insert one new sheet of paper everytime you wanted to print something?

It’s a good attempt at going in a different direction, but it may pose some serious mechanical problems. Personally, I think it’s more feasible to investigate vertical printing as a solution to this problem.
Alvin says
Good idea but paper might not come out straight.

i see an intense design with a lot of potential for a printer that doesn’t require a lot of space for a unit.
plus for the others that think this has low potential remember that when we print pages it matters not how they come out but what we with them when they come out of the printer and plus the printer makes it very stealthy so most people would see a bin or something or a type of decoration piece.
and now to the designer i present 5/5 stars on the product design for a device meant for printing only it is very unique and interesting and cool id say.

This clearly is thinking out of the box. Love it!

Good concept that certainly addresses a problem, a problem tha I have right now; but I’ll be concerned about feedind the paper, and paper jam. Great design and render, and it’s really cool too, and people like cool
Jonathan says
The designer stated that this product is geared toward people who have decreased their paper usage and therefore don’t print much but who still need a printer occasionally.
