Introducing Primera Trio™: the World’s Smallest, Lightest All-inOne Printer
Print, copy & scan from laptops, tablets & other USB-enabled devices
PLYMOUTH, MN, USA (January 20, 2014) — Specialty printer manufacturer
Primera Technology, Inc., announced the new Primera Trio, the world’s smallest
and lightest portable all-in-one printer, on January 6th during the ShowStopper @
CES 2015 event in Las Vegas. Primera Trio prints, copies and scans in full color or
black monochrome from a unit that weighs just 1.2 kg (2.7 lbs.), is about the size
of a hardcover book, and fits easily into computer bags, backpacks and briefcases,
setting a new benchmark in the portable printer market.
Designed for business and leisure travelers as well as local users with on-theroad printing needs, Primera Trio copies, scans and prints on standard A/A4size paper with fast and reliable full-color inkjet technology. It can print text,
graphics and photo-quality images on plain paper with up to 4800 dpi print
resolution. Postcards, invitations and 4” x 6” borderless photos can be printed by
using the printer’s rear feed slot.
Innovative patent-pending design keeps the size small. For example, the top
cover opens to reveal a built-in 10-sheet input feeder. A unique rotating print
head is then moved to the “up” position so that the printer is ready for use. For
traveling, the print head folds back down, caps itself to prevent drying out or
leaking while in transit, and the top cover folds back into the case.
Primera Trio also:

Primera Trio™
Offers an optional vehicle mounting bracket and 12V/USB power cords
for applications requiring in-vehicle printing such as route delivery,
public safety and law enforcement.
Lets you personalize your printer with optional top covers in silver, white,
pink and blue.
“Until now, portable printing has never really been practical. Existing page-size
portable printers are heavy and bulky; the smallest machines print only in black
monochrome with low print resolution on old fax-style thermal paper that curls,
fades in sunlight and easily scratches; and hotel business centers are notoriously
outdated, out of order, out of paper and not secure,” said Mark D. Strobel,
Primera’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Primera Trio is a true road
warrior’s dream. It is as easy to carry as a laptop, as full-featured as much larger
and heavier desktop all-in-ones, and is as close as your computer bag when you
need it.”
Pricing and Availability
Primera Trio sells for 375 € (MSRP) and is available on most popular web stores.
