Amazon.com Product Description
Why wait for the family to email photos to each other when you can print them instantly? The Sony DPP-FP30 pops out professional-quality photos quickly and easily, and it's compatible with both Windows-based PCs and PictBridge digital cameras. Speeds are a little faster when you're printing from your PC--you can expect 4-by-6-inch photo in about 90 seconds, compared to approximately 120 seconds from a digital camera's memory card. It'll only take a few clicks to make your photos look their best, thanks to the included imaging optimization software--reduce red eye, improve colors, or crop the edges.

The dye-sublimation print process incorporates special laminated paper with snap-off edges, which is available in 4-by-6 and 3.5-by-5-inch sizes. This technology allows dye-sub printers to produce great looking photos even though they're rated at lower resolution than comparably priced inkjet models. The DPP-FP30 offers 8-bit color and 300 dpi resolution, producing borderless prints that are resistant to sticky fingerprints, ink smudges, and moisture. The 20-sheet paper tray stocks just enough to make sure everyone at your party gets a print to take home. Sony includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

What's in the Box
Sony DPP-FP30 photo printer, SVMF40P 40-sheet paper pack, paper tray, user's guide, quick start sheet, CD-ROM with drivers and PictureGear Studio application, warranty and registration card; USB cable not included

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT, GREAT ITEM   December 22, 2008
Miriam C. Moreno (Fort Worth, TX)
I've had this printer for 3 years and use it all the time. I've had no problems with it and it still prints wonderful pictures. The only down side is that when I purchase the 40 picture pack, I usually have 1 picture paper left and I run out of ink, so I don't get my 40 prints, but the quality is so good that I like them better than if I go to CVS OR WAL MART.


5 out of 5 stars The best so far... by far!   November 13, 2005

Besides the expensive ink and paper (although value packs are available now), this little devil is a charm with a cherry on top!

It is a bit more expensive than other dye-sub printers, but once you try it out you'll realize it's worth it.

One leasson I learned, never go cheap on dye-sub photo printers, they're worth every penny and the DPP-FP30 rules them all.



5 out of 5 stars Great little photo printer   September 1, 2005

Pictures are shape and the color is crisp and defined. It was easy to use and the price was right. I took about 1/2 minute for each picture to print. I'm a novice at photo printing and I had no problem. I highly recommend this device. You won't be disappointed.


4 out of 5 stars Not as good as a Olympus P-400 but still in the top 5   August 18, 2005

Im a person that had never been a true fan of inkjet printing. im either cleaning the ink cartridges, buying replacement Cartridges or fading in a inkjet prints i have on my wall. I went to dye-sub printing about a year ago. My first purchase was the olympus p-400 printer. Which i loved, even though it does not do a true 8 x 10 print. I then begain a search for a 4 x 6 inch dye-sub printer for every day prints. i came across a good deal on a Sony DPP-FP30 printer. Over all i am still glad i bought it but the pros and cons are:

PRO:
* SMALL COMPACT SIZE FOR TRAVELING
* EASY INSTALLATION.
* CONTINOUS COLOR TONE.
* MATCHES PRINTS MADE AT A 1 HOUR PHOTO
* PRINT RESIST'S FADING BETTER THAN INKJET
* PRINT RESIST'S LIQUID SPILLS
* DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT INK RUNNING DRY IF NOT USED FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME.

CONS:
* THE PRINTS COME OUT DARKER AND A LITTLE DULLER THAN THE
IMAGE ON THE SCREEN. ON MY P-400 PRINTER I USUALLY GET
PRINTS CLOSE TO WHAT IS VIEWED ON MY SCREEN WITH NO
ADJUSTMENT. I OVER COMPENSATE THE DARK PRINTS BY
LIGHTENING / CONTRASTING THE IMAGE. USING A SHARPENING TOOL
I CAN OBTAIN A PRINT WITH MORE DETAIL.
* THE SURFACE IS MORE OF A DULL GLOSS THAN WHAT YOU WOULD
EXPECT.
* THE PRINTS LOVE TO COLLECT FINGERPRINTS ON THE SURFACE

IF I HAD A CHANCE TO PURCHASE THIS PRINTER AGAIN I STILL WOULD. BUT BEING SPOILED WITH THE P-400 I HAD EXPECTED BETTER.
