Eco Factor: Road printing machine runs on solar energy.

The Road Printer by industrial designer Hoyoung Lee, Doyoung Kim and Hongju Kim is a conceptual device that can be used to print signs onto the road surface by harvesting solar energy by an onboard solar panel.

The device is aimed to ease the task of printing road signs such as U Turn, Bus, Arrow Sign and Stop Sign at just the touch of a button. The designs are pre-programmed in the memory of the Road Printer, which are then jet-sprayed onto the surface.

The menu buttons which are to used to print a desired sign are rugged enough to endure a boot or a push from the user’s fingers. The print cartridge swings from side-to-side between the track wheels and is fueled by the paint reservoir that is fitted at the rear of the device for easy refill.
