Sony DPP-FP55 review

 

This portable printer doesn't waste space with A4 output or built-in scanners; it's designed to spit out 6x4 photos, fast, and does so with aplomb

Fast, sharp detail and luminous quality

Can't change colour and density adjustment without Sony's PictureGear Studio 2.0 software

This good little dye-sublimation printer allows you to view and arrange pictures on a TV screen and print directly from digital cameras.

Sony Picture Station DPP-EX50 Printer

 

Like other dedicated snapshot printers, the $180 Sony DPP-EX50 dye-sublimation printer can work without a computer. You can drive it from a PictBridge camera, and it has slots for Memory Stick and CompactFlash cards. Despite the printer's on-board...

Can connect to a TV ; Quality dye-sublimation produced photos

Some photos had a slight orange tone

The DPP-EX50 printed a 4-by-6-inch photo from a PC in a snappy 89 seconds--almost twice as fast as the Epson PictureMate. The print showed very sharp detail and the luminous quality we expect from dye-sublimation prints, though it had an almost...

Sony Digital Photo Printer DPP-EX50

 

The DPP-EX50 can connect to your TV, but can't really strut its stuff without it.

The best match for the Sony DPP-EX50 would be people who want to view their pictures on a TV, or who plan to transmit DPOF print jobs directly from their digital camera.

You can't use the DPP-EX50 dye-sub printer for anything but digital snapshots in three sizes (4-by-6 max), using media that costs $0.50 to $0.67 per photo. But the print quality rivals or beats conventional film prints, and convenience and ease of use...

Service and support

 

Sony DPP-EX50

Fairly inexpensive; excellent print quality; fast; can view and edit photos on your TV.

Design isn't for everyone; can't view or edit photos on LCD; no connection between removable media drives and your computer; no paper or ink included.

This snapshot photo printer makes beautiful prints for a reasonable price, but its design could use some work.
