First released in 1998 (Japan), the Sony FPV-1 Mavica Printer came equipped with a floppy disk drive and it also let you print screenshots from a PlayStation game console. That’s right, this device allowed users to print directly from a floppy disk by simply inserting one into the floppy disk drive (FDD).
In addition to its a 3.5-inch FDD, it also boasts video input / S video input terminals. This means the printer can be used with video cameras as well as VCRs to create a wide variety of original pictures, postcards or greeting cards. One caveat: it initially retailed for around $438 USD ($827 in 2023). Unfortunately, used FPV-1 printers still sell for around $700 in excellent condition.
