Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 review

 

Intro You won't waste a lot of time learning to use this compact, 300dpi dye-sublimation photo printer. Devoid of any on-printer controls other than a standby button, the Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 is strictly a plug-it-in-and-print component. There...

Easy to operate; relatively inexpensive; speedy.

No memory card slots or on-printer controls; not Mac compatible; high cost per print.

This bare-bones photo printer makes good-looking--albeit expensive--prints.

Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30

 

The Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 is a little expensive to run, but delivers photos on the spot in about 90 to 130 seconds.

Prints directly from PictBridge cameras. Extremely easy to set up and use.

No memory-card slots. Cost per page for 4-by-6-inch prints is about twice what it costs for digital prints at a typical photo or drug store.

Sony DPP-FP30

 

Unlike its predecessor, Sony's latest PictureStation doesn't try to do too much -- dropping the LCD display, video-out capabilities and memory card slots -- and as such sports a much smaller form factor.

Fairly inexpensive ; Excellent print quality ; Fast ; PictBridge support ; Easy to use ; Stylish design ; Waterproof prints

No memory card reader ; No battery pack option ; Slightly higher cost per print

Sony DPP-FP 30

 

Small and compact and easy to use.

Can be a bit temperamental with Windows 7. Worked out of the box straight away but had a couple of glitches after that. Paper and cartridges are expensive.

Compact, ease of setup, quiet. Paper is relatively affordable.Print is OK but not brilliant

Print Quality is not brilliant, but then again its not a high-end piece of kit or priced to be so.

Sony DPP-FP 30

 

Easy set up, print what you want. Small and compact very easy for storage and doesn't create much noise at all.

You can only print out a couple of sizes, but I suppose this is just because I'm fussy.
