CamRanger Adds Support for DNP's WPS-1 to Deliver Complete Wireless Solution for Professional Photographers
CONCORD, N.C. -- DNP Imagingcomm America Corp.'s Photo Imaging Division has announced that CamRanger, one of the most popular camera control tools for professional photographers, has added support for wireless printing with DNP's WPS-1 Wireless Print Server. The integration now provides users of CamRanger's wireless camera control system with the ability to print to most DNP photo printers via the WPS-1 server -- creating a complete wireless end-to-end solution for photographers.
The CamRanger is a compact standalone device that connects directly to Canon and Nikon dSLR cameras via a USB cable. The device creates an ad-hoc WiFi network that tablets, smartphones and Mac and Windows PCs can use to connect to the camera. A downloadable CamRanger app enables wireless control of the camera, including live view, image capture and view, editable camera settings, movie recording, time-lapse, macro photography and now, direct printing of images.
"As wireless printing continues to become an important part of the modern photographer's workflow, we plan to integrate the WPS-1 with many of the third party products that our customers deploy on a daily basis," said Katsuyuki Oshima, president of DNP Imagingcomm America Corp. "CamRanger has an incredible technology with a global user base that we are proud to work with."
Two primary workflows are available with CamRanger's support for WPS-1. In the first, photographers can use a tablet or mobile device running the CamRanger app to set up and trigger photos on a camera. They can then review the photos, select the images they want to print and print directly to a DNP printer via the WPS-1. The second workflow is an immediate shoot-to-print, where CamRanger is configured to print a photo directly via the WPS-1 every time a photo is triggered from a tablet or smartphone.
"We recognize the growing importance of wireless shoot-to-print workflows," said Dave Pawlowski, owner and co-founder of CamRanger. "With the WPS-1, DNP has created a unique and powerful option for professional photographers. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to add wireless printing to the CamRanger system with the WPS-1."
With a suggested list price of $179.95, the DNP WPS-1 eliminates the requirement for a PC and network router and is designed exclusively for use with DNP's DS620A, DS40, DS80 and RX1 dye-sublimation printers. The CamRanger wireless camera control system has a suggested retail price of $299.95. The free CamRanger mobile apps are available on the Apple App Store and on the Google Play Store.
