ABSTRACT:
A handheld printing device and method for printing are disclosed. The handheld device comprises a print head, a graphical screen and at least one positioning sensor that co-operates with a micro controller circuit. The print head can be moved by hand directly to the area where the text or image is to be printed, and can be automatically steered to enable a faster printout, especially for printouts having text or images spread out over the printout surface with empty space in between. The manual movement of the print head is facilitated by the graphical screen of the device showing at each moment a portion of the picture corresponding in position to the printout in progress.
