Psychedelic Sony Prints?
You may be shooting a 70′s themed event but you still don’t want your prints to look like this.
Our tech team here at Imaging Spectrum has run into this problem several times over the past few months with customers using the Sony UP-DR150 and the Sony UP-DR200. Russell, our senior printer tech has found a solution. In an effort to save you time, Russell asked me to post this short explanation.
Description of problem
Photos have a crayola painted looking appearance similar to the image above. (we’ve also heard “UFO looking”, “painterly effect” and other descriptions, I like psychedelic)
Solution
This issue can be corrected by using the LUT (Look Up Table) Tool to reset the color look up table.
Download the LUT tool from the support page on our website:
http://www.imagingspectrum.com/support.html
Once you receive the self executable file follow these steps:
1. Connect the Sony UP-DR150 or UP-DR200 to your PC via the USB cable.
2. Double click the file to execute the tool. You will see a window like below.
3. Click the SEND button to reset the LUT
That should do the trick. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Hi Eddie,
I asked one of our technicians to email it directly to you. Watch for it in your inbox.
Cheers!

Recently after shipping one of my dr150 printers it began printing in a maner I have never seen before. I uploaded images of the prints to my site. I was hoping you could look at them and let me know if you have ever seen anything like it. http://mcppixgallery.com/photocart/index.php?do=photocart&viewGallery=10124
Hello Mario, I wish this were an easy fix that I could cover in a simple note, unfortunately I have not encountered any issue resembling the pattern of artifacts within these three photos and it is very likely that these prints are a combination of symptoms for multiple problems. I recognize the UP-DR150 calibration sheets from the service menu and the penguins from Windows 7, however this printer would need to be shipped in for a diagnostic. If you choose to send the unit to Imaging Spectrum, I’d be happy to check it out.
Please send me the LUT tool to. thank u for help
