As impressive as the results are from today’s generation of inkjet printers, they’re still not the best solution for making hard copies of that memorable photo. For one, inkjet prints have a nasty habit of fading over time, typically sooner rather than later.
For prints that will really stand the test of time the Sony UP-D75 Dye Sublimation printer is the way to go. To give prints that real photo-studio look and feel the UP-D75 laminates a clear finish onto the photo with a glossy, textured or matte finish. This also helps the longevity of the shot by protecting it from fingerprints and smudging. The UP-D75’s “refined printing sequence and longer life print head” can output a 300 dpi 8×10 page in a respectable 80 seconds.
At $2,995 you probably won’t be picking one of these up for mom and dad, but if photography is your thing then a dye sublimation printer is a great addition to your toolset. The Sony UP-D75 is currently available from your local (pro) camera shop and authorized Sony retailers.
[…] Printouts made from a home inkjet printer are easily smeared by even the smallest drops of moisture. (Let alone an entire cup of coffee.) If you’re looking for a more durable solution, and don’t want to drop a small fortune on a dye-sublimation printer then you might want to look into ToughPrint’s line of waterproof papers. […]
