Dye Sublimation Photo Printer

  Dye sublimation printers, which use a long roll of transparent film instead of ink to transfer color, offer better and longer lasting prints than photos made with inkjets. Most dye sub printers are small (and very portable) , and only make up to 4 x 6 photos. On the whole, though, dye subs are wonderful if you want to print out fine, long-lasting photos for family and friends. Now that digital cameras, printers, scanners, and all-in-one devices are mainstream products, the digital photo no longer mystifies the average user. Chances are you are not the first on the block to own a digital camera, scan in your fading photo prints, or print them out on a home ink jet printer or all-in-one unit. Up-to-date users in the consumer or SOHO (small office / home office) markets are sending photos by email, uploading them to Web sites, and incorporating images in PowerPoint presentations. They are now printing photos at home, rather than relying on prints from the neighborhood photo lab. Thanks to growing awareness levels, the consumer and home office market segments are receptive to new digital technology. Even PC vendors recognize the cool factor of digital photography and are bundling their products with digital photo solutions. Digital equipment providers are expanding the market by offering consumers a more complete digital photo experience.
