DNP Introduces New Flagship DS620A Dye-Sublimation Photo Printer

CONCORD, N.C. -- DNP Imagingcomm America Corp. today introduced its new flagship DS620A dye-sublimation photo printer for the event photography and photo retail markets. As the latest addition to DNP's award-winning line of DS Series printers, the DS620A is the world's most compact professional-grade photo printer and can produce up to 400 prints per hour. Built with an improved thermal print head, the DS620A will also come backed by a three-year Advanced Exchange Warranty from DNP IAM at time of purchase.

"With its wide range of print size options, quick output and innovative print technology, the DS620A is a revenue-generating asset for pro photographers printing on site as well as retail store operators with in-store photo printing kiosks," said Katsuyuki Oshima, President of DNP Imagingcomm America Corp. "The DS620A represents our continued commitment to providing the photography and retail markets with the most reliable and cost-effective printing solutions available as well as our dedication to preserving the memories of their customers."

At only 10.8-inches wide by 14.4-inches deep by 6.7-inches high, the DS620A is 14 percent lighter than its predecessor. The small footprint allows for easy transportation and stacking with additional printers for high output functionality making it the ideal companion of photographers searching for mobility, speed and volume. The printer's design also features improved aesthetics with a new white color scheme and rounded corners.

The DS620A is capable of producing 2x6-inch (2-up) photo strips, 2x6-inch (4-up) photo strips, 3.5x5-inch (2x), 4x6-inch, 4x6-inch (2x), 5x7-inch and 6x8-inch prints as well as new 5x5-inch and 6x6-inch square prints in a newly improved gloss or matte finish. Not only is the printer versatile, but it also boasts a 14 percent increase in image throughput per hour for some of the fastest print speeds available -- standard 4x6-inch images are produced in less than nine seconds, while 5x7s are printed in about 15 seconds. The printed media will also feature a new DNP watermark on the backside of each photo.

Environmentally friendly, both energy consumption and media waste have been optimized in the DS620A. A new standby mode lowers costs and increases profitability by making the most efficient use of energy (<0.5W). The printer also provides advanced status information from the driver, enabling users at any time to check remaining media, media format, printer status, printer life counter, color control data, firmware version and serial number.

The DS620A is compatible with DNP's vast range of software products, including Mobile Party Print for event photography applications, the Tomo v6.1 kiosk software, the new NexLab 6 order management software and the new print utility software Hot Folder Print Utility for enhanced print workflows in studio and event. DS620A printer drivers are available for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
