A handheld printer coming on the market this holiday season just might let you get in touch with your inner Martha Stewart.
The Xyron Design Runner inkjet printer lets you print directly on a variety of materials including fabric, wood, polymer clay, wallpaper and other surfaces. Previously, consumers needed to buy special printer adapters for odd-sized paper or transfer images using multi-step heat-based processes.

The printer will begin shipping in December 2005 with a suggested retail price of $139.99. That includes the hand-held printer, a docking station, a sample disc with 40-designs, one acid-free black inkjet cartridge, and two 9-volt batteries.
Twelve additional disks are available for $29.99 with 40 different designs. Ink cartridges retail for $39.99, print up to 5,000 inches per cartridge and also come in red and green.
