DNP Introduces WPS Pro Wireless Print Server
23 February 2017
DNP has introduced its new WPS Pro Wireless Print Server for the company's DS40, DS80, DS620A, DS-RX1HS and DS820A dye-sublimation printers, providing a 802.11 b/g/n WiFi connection to them.
"Wireless tools are an important part of our customer's increasingly flexible workflow," said Katsuyuki Oshima, president of DNP Imagingcomm America Corp. "The WPS Pro expands the functionality of our printers, optimizes photographer workflows and provides new opportunities for our customers to upgrade their offerings."
The new print server features a seven-inch touchscreen for monitoring print jobs, printer status and remaining print counts. The touchscreen also makes it easy to configure changes including language, default print queues and applying borders.
DNP's Mobile Status App now provides simple control of the WPS Pro as well as a printer and server control interface that allows you to see near-real-time feedback on printer status, configuration control and job process status. You can also print wirelessly directly from a mobile device to a connected DNP printer with DNP's WPS Print 2 App. The Mobile Status and WPS Print 2 Apps are both available as free downloads for iOS and Android devices.
Price and availability were not disclosed by the company.
DNP Introduces WPS Pro Wireless Print Server
Enhances functionality of Mobile Device Support for Leading Dye-sublimation Photo Printers
CONCORD, N.C. -- DNP Imagingcomm America Corp. today introduced the new WPS Pro Wireless Print Server. Designed exclusively for DNP's award-winning DS40, DS80, DS620A, DS-RX1HS and DS820A dye-sublimation printers, the WPS Pro allows photographers to print directly from WiFi enabled capture devices without the need for cables, memory cards or an Internet connection.
The WPS Pro is ideal for event and wedding photographers that require on-demand wireless printing workflows. WPS Pro allows event photographers to roam, capture and wirelessly print candid shots taken at the company picnic, local pet store or sporting event; and perfect for the wedding photographer to capture and print the memories of the rehearsal dinner, wedding reception and that special Father-Daughter dance.
The WPS Pro features an easy-to-read 7" touchscreen display that allows users to easily monitor print jobs, printer status and see remaining print counts. The touchscreen also makes it easy to configure changes including language, default print queues and applying borders.
For additional control, DNP's Mobile Status App provides simple control of the WPS Pro and a convenient printer and server control interface that allows operators to see near-real-time feedback on printer status, configuration control and job process status. In addition, DNP's WPS Print 2 App allows users to wirelessly print directly from a mobile device to a connected DNP printer. The Mobile Status and WPS Print 2 Apps are available as free downloads for iOS and Android devices from their respective marketplaces.
Using its built-in 802.11 b/g/n WiFi access point, the WPS Pro allows users to print from WiFi enabled dSLR cameras, mobile devices (including phones and tablets), as well as Windows or Mac computers, all without the need for an Internet connection. WPS Pro supports up to five simultaneous wireless device connections.
"Wireless tools are an important part of our customer's increasingly flexible workflow," said Katsuyuki Oshima, President of DNP Imagingcomm America Corp. "The WPS Pro expands the functionality of our printers, optimizes photographer workflows and provides new opportunities for our customers to upgrade their offerings."
With its own network access point, no router is required to print via the WPS Pro allowing for increased flexibility in workflow, set design and hardware arrangement. A single WPS Pro can connect with two DNP photo printer models for speed/redundancy or for an increased range of print size options. The device allows for multiple print sizes including 2x6" photo strips, 5x5" and 6x6" square prints as well as traditional 4x6" 5x7" 6x8" 8x10" and panoramic, depending on the printer combination and media. It also supports printing with glossy and matte; and can be configured to combine images with custom borders.
