Updated May 10, 2016: the 4×6 and 6x8 media kit for the HiTi 510 no longer includes the ribbon holder as explained below.
HiTi media for the 510-series will soon be changing to a reusable ribbon cartridge. The plan is to ship the reusable cartridge with each case of media for the first few months then the media will eventually ship with ribbon and paper only. The goal is to make the transition as painless as possible. Media that ships from HiTi during the month of June should still be the old format. The new style media should begin shipping to dealers in July. IMPORTANT: Please note that you will need to update your HiTi 510 Firmware and Printer Drivers before using the new media. Drivers can be downloaded from HiTi: http://download.hiti.com/index.asp.I ordered this printer last year for an event with Santa. I wanted to print instant. I printed 4x6s. It was very fast and easy to use the email feature also. The choice was 4x6 prints or a digital image emailed. I had to turn my camera to Med instead of Large files (24MP) so the emails would send out. No problems with that. The colors on the prints are great. I am planning on buying another 620A printer to offer 5x7 prints along with 4x6 prints from the first printer. The software that I purchased to compliment this printer is Darkroom Core. It works perfect together. I also print instant at Proms, Homecoming Dance and other events. I will never go back to the old way, once the prints are printed, I am done with that event and dont have to return to deliver the prints. I would HIGHLY recommend this printer. Call Imaging Spectrum, they can let you know all the info on this printer. Worth every penny!!
