DNP to Launch DP-DS80DX A Dye Sublimation Digital Photo Printer Capable of Duplex Prints
Space saving design makes for easy operation
Sep16,2014
Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) is pleased to announce the launch of the DP-DS80DX, a dye sublimation digital photo printer1 for commercial uses capable of producing both double-sided (duplex) and single-sided (simplex) prints in a single printer. The new digital photo printer will be sequentially introduced on a global market from September.
The new product will also be on display at the DNP booth at Photokina 2014, the world's leading imaging fair, to be held in Cologne, Germany from September 16 to September 21.
[DP-DS80DX Features]
The DP-DS80DX is a printer suitable for services, such as high resolution duplex prints of photobooks or calendars at retail outlets or laboratories.
Capable of producing both duplex and simplex prints in a single printer.
The DP-DS80DX integrates refinements to the DS80 that facilitated high resolution high speed prints even while maintaining a compact size, and is a newly developed unit that makes it possible to supply sheet-type receiver paper and output duplex prints. Simplex prints use roll-type receiver paper and duplex prints use sheet-type paper, which can be set at the same time, avoiding media switching time and effort, and making it possible for a single printer to respond to both duplex and simplex prints needs.
Compatible with a variety of print sizes
As the DP-DS80DX is compatible with multiple print sizes, from a single size media, a variety of print sizes can be produced without changing media.
Compact design suitable for in-store services
With a compact design that is easy to install and to operate, the DP-DS80DX facilitates the expansion of on-demand printing services.
Ideal for the production of photobooks and calendars
It is possible to select gloss or matte finish for either duplex or simplex prints, making it possible to respond to diversified printing needs, including photobooks, calendars and greeting cards. As a result of an overcoat finish that can only be produced using the dye sublimation thermal transfer format, compared to other printing formats, the DP-DS80DX is ideal for print services, such as photobooks, that demand virtually non-adhesive print surface duplex prints.
