This is great news!
If it looks like the example photos, it's a more elegant solution. I'm not fully sold on the paper rolls vs the standard reams of paper, but being able to package the printer like that looks amazing
I've used pen plotters that feed off a roll like that. One benefit is that you don't have restrictions on how long your print is
you can make very large continuous images. That can be desirable for certain applications.
The pen plotter I used had a paper cutter that sliced the paper at the end of a print. I don't know if this thing slices at the end of each page or what.

Ah. Apparently it also can handle pre-cut sheets, and it additionally has a cutter for the roll:
The printer's paper, meanwhile, can be loaded as pre-cut sheets in letter, tabloid, A4, and A3 sizes, or as a continuous roll — with a built-in cutter knife able to trim the latter to the desired size following the completion of each page.
I dunno if they have a paper feeder, or if you have to insert pre-cut sheets one at a time, which I imagine would be obnoxious.
Who the fuck uses paper like that and where would you even get that paper? That’s beyond stupid.
Plotters do (well, ones that feed off a roll rather than using a table). Common if you need to do larger prints.
Supported paper sizes include North American letter, tabloid, European A4, A3, 11-inch-wide rolls, and 27mm-wide rolls.
Here's 11-inch rolls:

So necessary.
Yes I was hoping somebody was doing this in their basement for the past years.
Not a fan of the paper roll but apart from that it looks great. If they ever sell this at a reasonable price, I'm buying one.
It can handle normal paper sheets too
Crazy this is a big deal for a mainstream outlet to cover. That's how regressive capitalism has been to consumers its supposed to help.
Renderite bullshit
