Using an enhanced thermal print head and print engine system the DS620A Professional Photo Printer from DNP is designed for high quality prints with excellent speed and 300 dpi resolution. The printer will produce prints from 2 x 6" photo strips to 6 x 8" images and in high-speed mode will create a 4 x 6" photo in just 8.3 seconds. You can also create beautiful panoramic images up to 6 x 20" when using DNP's Hot Folder Print v2.2 software. The unit can make up to 400 pictures in an hour with the roll feed and the same media can be used for either glossy or matte finishes.
Buy a laser printer unless you regularly print high-quality glossy photos. For high-volume color, consider an ink-tank printer (Megatank/Ecotank) instead of traditional cartridge models to save hundreds on ink. Available from $995.
Inkjet printers have a razor-and-blades model: cheap upfront, but exorbitant ink costs. Laser printers cost more upfront but have a vastly superior and cheaper cost of ownership over their lifespan.
Common Failure Modes
Inkjet printers almost always fail due to dried and clogged printheads from infrequent use. Laser printers are much more robust but may eventually require fuser or drum replacements after thousands of pages.
