Sep17,2019
Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd (DNP) is set to introduce a new dye-sublimation digital photo printer1 which is one of the most lightweight and compact2 printers available in the global market today. The new printer, DP-QW410, expands the existing product lineup, and can be used for photo booth, event photographers, and ID photo solutions. It will be shipped to the global market from the end of October 2019.
Can be used in a variety of locations and uses, including events, amusements and for ID photos.
【DP-QW410 Features】
1. Compact and lightweight
Boasting dimensions of 208mm (8.2-inches) in width, 240mm (9.5-inches) in depth, 198mm (7.8-inches)in height, and weighing in at approximately 5.8kg (13 lbs ), the new photo printer ranks among the most compact and lightest of printers available in the global market today. The new photo printer is 42% smaller and 50% lighter than the DP-DS620 / DP-DS620A model.

2. Flatter prints
With the introduction of this smaller photo printer, the diameter of the paper roll is reduced, thus the photo prints are subjected to curling. However, the DP-QW410 is equipped with an innovative mechanism that reduces the curl of the print, even while maintaining a smaller, compact footprint.
3. Proprietary 4.5-inch head width
The new printer employs a proprietary 4.5-inch print head to allow consumers to now print 16:9 wide-ratio photos. By eliminating the need for cropping a wide format image down to a traditional 3:2 ratio (4x6” print) the consumer can preserve the whole image.
4. Energy savings
The photo printer reduces power consumption by approximately 35% compared to the DP-DS620 / DP-DS620A. As a result, battery-powered operations can be extended3 for a greater period of time4.
