Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America has introduced two compact digital photo printers, the CP-D70DW and double-decker CP-D707DW. Mitsubishi will be showing the new printers next week at the Photo Plus Expo. The new models are designed for a variety of photo operations and offer a smaller footprint than any of the Mitsubishi models now on the market market. The CP-D70DW is just 10.8”W x 17.6”D x 6.7”H and the CP-D707DW stands at double the height at 13.4”.
“Mitsubishi is known for high-quality output and reliability,” said Darla Achey , marketing specialist, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “These new printers offer that same quality in a more compact size. Plus the CP-707DW is the only printer of its size that can be filled with two different types of paper.”
Space Saving Design
With a space-saving front-loader and simple filing unit extension, the printers are easy to use and highly efficient. The CP-D70DW is just 10.8-by-17.6-by-6.7 inches and the CP-D707DW stands at double the height at 13.4 inches. Both have a print resolution of 300 dpi, along with a new image-processing algorithm to enhance natural sharpness. They are also designed for dust-free photos and efficient printer throughput, and have a built-in energy saving idle mode which reduces power consumption to less than one watt.
Double Decker?
The CP-D707DW is unique in that it will accommodate two different sizes of media making it possible to print 4x6 or 6x8 from the upper deck and 3x5 or 5x7 from the lower deck. This new double deck design also increases print speed - if both decks are loaded with 4x6 print speed increases to 5.9 seconds per print. The design incorporates a space between the decks which distribute airflow to the power supply and the thermal print head resulting in increases throughput and reduced print contamination.
Windows Vista/7 64-bit, and YES! Mac OS X drivers available.
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!!
