Summary:

i love this printer. It is far superior to any inkjet product that i have tried. the quality of the finish is amazing, you can fool people into thinking its a real 35mm print done at a photo center.

Strengths:

FAST FAST FAST the book says 90 seconds, but its more like 45 - 60. Quality Ease of use, i pluged it in, and bam i was printing pictures Good looks Size, its not big, and its not small

Weaknesses:

expensive paper, and dye cartriges. but hey, its cheaper than exposing my own film in the dark room.

Similar Products Used:

all kinds of ink jet printers, HP, epson etc,,, not very similar though

Price Paid: $199.00 from sony.com

Summary:

Absolutely love this product. Wish it had a screen on it though, but I'm sure I'll get the higher models later. Definitely don't consider ink jet as dye sublimation really does look like it's 35 mm photos and it just enhances your digi camera. Most definitly worth the buy.

Strengths:

great quality. reasonable price

Weaknesses:

availability of photo printer paper and cartridge...wish it worked with other photo printer, but one can't have everything.

Similar Products Used:

HP printers, absolutely suck.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid: $366.00 from Vistek

Model Reviewed:
Sony DPP-SV55

Summary:

Excellence quality that can fool ppl and saying that is a real 35mm film print out. No inkjet printer can compare this quality. Also, it is relatively inexpensive to inkject when print in highest quality and Glossy film paper. Very fast print speed (within 90 sec per copy).

Strengths:

- TV output - Print-on-alone (not require a PC) - FAST!! - High Quality (403 dpi) - Sharp and good in color - Edge to Edge print out

Weaknesses:

- Paper and ribbon are expensive compare to 35mm film :( - Largest print size is 4"x6". - somethimes crash in Windows 98 (but never have any problem in NT or Windows 2000) - When i set the photo in 403 dpi and 4"x6" (2418x1812), the print out will have white edge. Ha to set higher resolution/ lower dpi to get rid of this problem.

Similar Products Used:

- Epson Stylus Photo (though not very similar)
