PrinCube Review – A Small Champ

Works on any surface

PrinCube is a lightweight portable color printer that fits in the palm of your hand. The printer works with Wi-Fi and connects with your phone to manage all the printing work. It works virtually or on any hard surface. PrinCube takes the power of Inkjet printing to the next level and provide us with features, none other device can offer.

Works on any Surface

One of the biggest limitations of any printer is that it won’t work on most surfaces. Until now, expensive screen-printing and engravers are required to print any design, letter, or logo. Now with PrinCube, you can print on any surface or material. This includes wood, leather, paper, metal, textiles, plastic, and much more. Want a special signature on your favorite cup? Use PrinCube to draw it.

Tattoo Printer

In addition to the surface, you can print on your skin as well. Just rub it on your hands and beautiful tattoo design is available in no time.

Vivid Color

The portable printing option is only limited to Black and White color. PrinCube allows you full-fledged support for color printing. It utilizes 3-Color Thermal Ink-jet Technology to provide us with vivid color printing.

Multi-line printing

PrinCube also enables multi-line printing like a champ. With this product, you can print a total of 3m/9.8 feet content using the built-in multi-line feature.
