As its newest, lightest and most compact dye-sublimation photo printer, the latest from DNP is the QW410 is a portable model that can be plugged in to create instant prints on location.

With WiFi and iOS compatibility, it also supports an external battery to be used off-site and without power.

At $469, it’s available for pre-order now.

Ideal for photo booth and event photographers, there are two square formats in 4 and 4.5 inches so that it can even be used for ID photos.

With matte and glossy finish, the 4.5-inch printhead provides full-bleed, edge-to-edge prints in 16:9 ratio at 300dpi. Most 4-x 6-inch solutions have a 3:2 ratio that will crop the original photo.

Thirteen pounds in weight, it’s not necessarily portable but it does have external dimensions of only 8.2 x 7.8 x 9.5 inches. That’s 42 percent smaller and 50 percent lighter than their previous DP-DS620 model. It also uses 35 percent less power.

There is a curl-correcting mechanism as smaller printers need to reduce the diameter of the paper roll, which can cause curling. 

The printer comes with four sizes of prints as standard, however additional print sizes can be set through software. Each 4 x 6-inch print takes approximately 19 seconds or 22 seconds when using curl correction.

It’s also capable of 4.5 x 8-inch prints at approximately 24 seconds in turnaround.
