You wouldn't want to use the 1-pound PN60 portable laser-quality printer while it's in your pocket, but in a pinch you can pop the unit in there to free your hands for some last-minute updating prior to printing your color transparencies. Available for the PC and the Mac, the PN60 ($429) measures 10 by 1.85 by 2 inches and prints up to 2 ppm. The thermal-fusion-based printer operates at a noise level of less than 46 dBA. It comes with five built-in fonts and also supports TrueType and Adobe fonts. A monochrome cartridge can print up to 30 text pages and up to 18 graphics pages; the optional color cartridge can print from three to five color transparencies.
