Just when I thought I had enough gadgets to last me for a while, a company called Artefact has released a printing concept to make me – and I would expect all of you – drool like a baby grabbing for a new toy. 

The “See What You Print” printer is still a concept, but what a concept it is!  The idea of being able to move, refine and edit your photos on the printer’s touch screen is a very clever design concept. 

According to the design specialists behind the SWYP printer, one will be able to “easily preview and edit on the touch-screen before printing. Just like you would do with the real paper.

Color results become predictable with a screen that is always calibrated to the printer and unwanted print areas are easily spotted and can be removed by simply ‘swyping’ it off the screen.”
