DNP Intros Event Photo Kiosk & New Wi-Fi Print Server

DNP has a pair of new print products to help event shooters cash in on on-the-spot printing.

The first, the SnapLab+ SL620A, is a compact photo printing kiosk that combines DNP’s DS620A dye-sublimation photo printer, the DNP DS-Tmini order terminal and a customized software interface.

The kiosk is designed to be used by event guests. It supports multiple print sizes from 3.5 x 5-inch photos to 6 x 20-inch panoramic prints in glossy, matte and luster finishes. (If you connect the DS80x printer to the DS-Tmini terminal you can also print photo books.)

Users will be able to perform basic edits to their images, add borders and custom text through the DS-Tmini’s 10-inch touch screen display. The terminal has a multi-format card reader, USB ports and wireless connectivity for transferring images from mobile devices.

The SL620A sells for $1,995 while the DS-Tmini order terminal costs $1,295.

DNP has also introduced a new Wi-Fi print server. The WPS Pro Wireless Print Server is compatible with the company’s dye sub printers (specifically the DS40, DS80, DS620A, DS-RX1HS and DS820A). Using the server photographers can print directly from Wi-Fi devices, including smartphones, Wi-Fi-enabled cameras and computers.

The server can have five Wi-Fi devices connected at once and can connect to two printers simultaneously if you need to crank through a higher volume of prints.

The WPS Pro sports a 7-inch touch display. A pair of free apps for iOS and Android devices let you monitor printer status (the aptly-named Mobile Status App) or print from a mobile device (WPS Print 2 app).

The WPS Pro costs $219.
