DigPicPhotos What is Dye Sublimation: Dye Sublimation uses high heat and solid dyes to produce photo lab quality images. Dye Sub printers contain a roll of transparent film made up of page sized panels of color. Solid dyes in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black are embedded in the film. Print head heating elements vaporize the inks which adhere to a specially coated paper. As the ink cools it re solidifies on the paper. Color intensity is controlled by precise variations in temperature. Dye sublimation printers lay down color in continuous tones one color at a time, instead of dots of ink. Because the color is absorbed into the paper rather than sitting on the surface, the output is more photo realistic, more durable, and less vulnerable to fading than other ink technologies. DigPicPhoto uses only Sony UP DR150 Digital Photo Printers. These dye sublimation printers offer you speed and lab quality photo prints. The UPDR150 produces high quality 4x6 or 5x7 size prints in seconds. The high speed, high volume, high capacity of the UP DR150 will meet the needs of the most demanding customers. Utilizing Sony dye sublimation technology, this printer produces high quality borderless photo quality prints. Key Features are: High Speed Printing: An adaptive thermal print head enables the UP DR150 to operate at high speeds when producing any print size. For example, 4x6 image can be printed in approximately 15 seconds, and a 5x7 image can be printed in approximately 20 seconds. Superb Print Quality: The UP DR150 creates clear and vibrant prints with natural tones. Three types of print finishes, glossy; texture and matte; can be printed on all four print sizes (3.5 x 5, 4x6, 5x7 and 6x8) High Volume Printing: With large paper capacity and roll printing technology, the UP DR150 can handle high volume print jobs with ease. USB Interface: The UPDR150 is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface which allows fast transfer of image data. Front Operation and Auto loading Mechanism: The front loading operation and auto loading mechanism enables easy paper and ribbon replacement as well as easy installation in small areas. Gray Balance Adjustment Capability: Using the printed gray balance chart, the neutral gray color can be easily specified. The UPDR150 distinguishes delicate gray colors and reproduces the color that is needed. Real Time Monitoring: The UP DR150 also offers real time monitoring of the remaining number of prints, the total number of prints, the printer status and any error status. This allows continuous monitoring by application software. RETURN TO THE ON SITE PRINTING PAGE RETURN TO THE MAIN GALLERY
