NEWS – Imagine a printer so small and light, you can toss it in your backpack and forget it’s there until you need to print a contract, a study guide, or even a colorful flyer, right on the spot. That’s the promise of the NEWYES LD0806 Portable Inkjet Printer, launching on Kickstarter June 24, 2025. This pint-sized powerhouse is designed for anyone who needs professional-quality printing without being tied to a desk or bulky office gear.
Designed for Life on the Move
The NEWYES LD0806 is officially the world’s smallest inkjet printer, measuring just 294mm x 74mm x 52.5mm and weighing only 750 grams (about 1.65 pounds). That’s roughly the size and weight of a water bottle, making it easy to slip into a bag, briefcase, or even a large purse. Traditional home printers are heavy and awkward, but this one is built for mobility, making it perfect for business travelers, freelancers, students, or anyone who wants to print from anywhere.
Picture this: You’re a realtor heading to a client meeting and realize you need a fresh copy of a contract. Instead of hunting for a print shop or lugging around a bulky machine, you simply pull out the LD0806, connect wirelessly, and print on the spot. Or maybe you’re a college student in a cramped dorm, needing to print last-minute assignments without trekking to the library. The LD0806 makes these scenarios easy and stress-free.
Print Anywhere, Anytime, No Wires Required
One of the biggest headaches with traditional printers is finding a power outlet and dealing with a mess of cords. The NEWYES LD0806 printer solves that with a built-in 1800mAh battery, which gives you up to 30 days of standby time or the ability to print 80 full A4 pages on a single charge. Charging is quick and easy using the modern USB-C interface, so you can power up with your laptop charger or even a power bank.
Wireless printing is a breeze thanks to the iSmart printer app, available for Android, iOS, and Windows devices. Whether you’re using a phone, tablet, or laptop, you can send print jobs from anywhere in the room, or even let multiple people connect and queue up documents at once. No more fighting over a single USB cable or worrying about compatibility.
Professional Quality on Regular Paper
Unlike many portable printers that only work with expensive thermal paper and just print in black and white, the LD0806 supports both black-and-white and color printing on ordinary A4 typing paper. This means you can print everything from crisp contracts to vibrant flyers, all without paying extra for special supplies. The print resolution is a sharp 300 DPI, ensuring text is easy to read and graphics look clean and professional. While it’s designed mainly for documents and text with graphics, it can handle photos in a pinch. Just don’t expect gallery-quality prints.
A real-world example: A truck driver on a cross-country trip needs to print delivery receipts, route maps, and even colorful promotional materials for clients. With the LD0806, everything prints clearly on standard paper, and the results won’t fade like thermal prints often do.
Simple Setup, Smart Features
Setting up the LD0806 is refreshingly simple. The printer uses compact ink cartridges that are easy to install and replace, with each black cartridge yielding up to 500 pages and each color cartridge up to 200 pages (at 5% coverage, based on ISO standards). That’s a lot of mileage for such a tiny device, and it keeps your printing costs low, about $0.04 per black-and-white page, much cheaper than most portable printers or print shops.
You can print single pages or use the optional feeder to print up to 20 sheets at a time, making it handy for larger jobs like handouts or reports. The printer also ensures your documents always come out in the correct orientation, so there’s no frustration with upside-down printouts.
Versatile for Every Scenario
The NEWYES LD0806 is more than just a travel gadget. It’s a productivity tool for all kinds of people and situations. Here are a few scenarios where it shines:
Business travelers and freelancers can print contracts, invoices, or presentations right from a hotel room or coworking space. Remote workers and mobile offices can set up a professional workspace anywhere, whether at home, in a café, or on a road trip. Students in small apartments can print assignments, study guides, or creative projects without needing a bulky printer. Truck drivers and field workers can generate delivery notes, checklists, or permits from a vehicle, no matter where the road takes them. Realtors and notaries can provide clients with instant, professional documents during meetings or property showings. Event planners and social groups can print schedules, flyers, or sign-in sheets on the go for group events or meetups.
Smarter Than Thermal, Smaller Than Traditional
Many portable printers use thermal technology, which means you need special (and often pricey) paper, and the prints can fade over time. The NEWYES LD0806 portable printer stands out by using inkjet technology, letting you print on regular printer paper in both color and black and white. This is a huge plus for anyone who needs long-lasting, flexible printouts—whether it’s a legal contract or a colorful brochure.
The LD0806 is dramatically smaller and easier to carry than traditional home printers. Unlike most portable thermal printers, it allows you to print in color, making it a more versatile choice for real-world needs.
Effortless Printing with the iSmart Printer App
Printing from your phone or laptop couldn’t be easier. The iSmart printer app is designed for quick setup and intuitive use, even if you’re not a tech expert. You can print documents in various formats—Word, PDF, JPG, PNG, and more, directly from your device, and the app helps you manage print jobs, check ink levels, and adjust settings with just a few taps.
Final Thoughts
The NEWYES LD0806 Portable Inkjet Printer is a useful gadget for anyone who wants to print without boundaries. It’s compact, lightweight, and powerful enough to handle everyday printing tasks wherever you are. With its long battery life, low printing costs, and support for both color and black-and-white printing on standard paper, it’s a smart investment for students, professionals, and adventurers alike.
Whether you’re closing a deal on the road, finishing homework in a coffee shop, or just want to be ready for anything, the LD0806 makes sure you’ll never be caught without a printer again. Check out their Kickstarter to pre-order one.
