OpenPrinter

Repairable, compact, and robust printer designed to last.

Fully repairable and equipped with a refillable ink system, OpenPrinter adapts to your needs while reducing your printing costs. Easy to maintain, it offers a sustainable, economical, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional printers.

Take Control of Your Ink Consumption

Master your ink consumption in just a few steps with the freedom to use your cartridges independently. Use your black and/or color cartridges as you wish: print in black for essentials or in color for your creations. No more frustrating blockages like: "Cannot print in black because the yellow cartridge is empty."

• Just the black cartridge: Print a rich and deep black.
• Just the color cartridge: Print vibrant colors and a light black.
• Black & color cartridges: You have both options active.

Free Paper Format

With Openprinter, you are free to choose between standard sheets or a versatile paper roll. Print not only in standard formats, but also in banners, strips, and completely customized formats. Thanks to the integrated cutter, you can unleash your creativity. Easily remove the roller to place standard paper sheets (A4, A3, Tabloid, Letter).

Flexible Configurations & Compact Design

Place it on a desk or mount it on a wall — you choose. Openprinter fits anywhere, creating a modern and smooth workspace. As the most compact printer/plotter on the market, it is easy to move, fits anywhere, and can be stored in an instant.

Robust, Repairable, Open, and Durable

Composed of standard and open-source components, Openprinter is easy to assemble, maintain, and repair, ensuring longevity. Keep your machine and consumables for as long as possible and help reduce electronic waste. It is available as a self-assembly kit or already assembled and ready to use.

Independent of Operating Systems

Equipped with an open-source print server (CUPS), Open Printer works seamlessly with Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It handles all your printing, both locally and over the network, for a simple, flexible, and driver-free experience.
