This, the diploma project of Mugi Yamamoto, is a compact inkjet printer which ingenuously sits on top of the pile of paper on which it feeds.
Yamamoto developed the concept at Ecole Cantonale D'Art Lausanne in Switzerland, where he studied industrial and product design. Instead of a paper tray, the Stack has a set of rubber wheels on the bottom that feed paper into the machine, effectively minimizing the amount of space the printer occupies. During printing, the paper disappears into the printer and exits on top, where it creates a new pile. The printer slowly moves down the stack until no paper is left. The removal of the bulky paper tray enabled Yamamoto to design the printer with a streamlined silhouette and avoids the need for frequent reloading. Currently, the Stack is still in prototype form, but the designer says he is hoping to manufacture it eventually.
