Mitsubishi recently introduced a new printer to the US market – the
Mitsubishi CP-K60DW-S Photo Printer. First announced at the Photo Plus Expo in New York in October, the K60 is aimed squarely at the photo booth market. This new printer boasts a sub $800 price tag, low cost per print, front-loading convenience; it’s small and compact and produces richly colored 2x6 photo booth style strips in matte or glossy – all important features for photo booth owners and operators. But wait, there is more! The CP-K60DW adds a couple of cool features that we have not seen before on a photo booth printer; features that may help you set your business apart and help you save money.
First, let’s talk about saving money. The Mitsubishi CP-K60DW has a unique “re-wind” feature. Without getting too technical, basically the rewind function enables the printer to print on an unused portion of media. For example, let’s say you have 6x8 media loaded in the printer and want to print only one 4x6. When you go to print the next 4x6, the printer will rewind and use the remaining ribbon. This feature enables you to offer 4x6, 6x8 and 6x6 without changing media. The feature also works with 5x7 media and 3.5x5 prints.
Another feature the CP-K60DW brings to the table is the ability to produce a square print. Can you say Instagram? Load the printer with 6x8 media and you can print a 6x6, full bleed, square print. If you are using Darkroom software, you can easily build an Instagram style layout for event photography, photo books or photo booth templates.
While it is a great photo booth printer, the Mitsubishi CP-K60DW is also suited for event photographers, or professional photographers that need high quality 4x6, 5x7, or 6x8 prints delivered quickly and economically. The K60 also comes with Mitsubishi’s Express Replacement Assistance (ERA) Program, a comprehensive nationwide service that offers next business-day replacement for units that are under warranty. Optional
extended warranty plans can also be purchased to get up to five years of warranty coverage total.
