Sony UP-DP10 Photo Printer

Although the images are great, when you finally get it to work, the paper is always getting stuck. The paper was very difficult to find. Drivers are near impossible to find... Get the HP photosmart printer (the small one) and you will be thrilled, as I am

I got this photo printer because i love to make my own pictures, give them to friends and have the ability to make the pictures that i want. The picture quality is amazing, exactly like getting them proccessed at a photo place. The huge downfall of this product is the fact that the printer cartridge and paper is almost impossible to get. I didn't mind at first that the paper could only be gotten on amazon, but about 2 months ago i ordered more paper and ink and they kept pushing back the date until they finally canceled my order. I have not been able to use my printer for 2 months! I suggest buying someone that doesn't have such specific ink and paper needed to work it.

I have the Kodak DX3500 digital camera and it's great to work with. I also have several printers, all HP. The problem with printing 4x6 pictures is that the paper doesn't always feed correctly. I have several friends who have HP inkjet printers and they all have the same problem. Can't tell you how much paper and how many cartridges I've gone through trying to get scanned photos or direct download from the Kodak to print on my wide bed HP. When I saw this I decided to give it a try, and I love it! It's very compact, very quiet and prints beautiful pictures that are photo processing quality. The greatest thing is that it is a thermal print so the pictures never fade as they do with regular inkjet. This printer uses a specialty ribbon and paper and yes the print packs are a little pricey ($15 - $20 each for 25 prints), but considering the quality of the pictures and what you save in premium photo paper it's well worth the price (and remember your memories will never fade). And if you balance the cost against the price of film and film processing, this is one of the best bargains you'll ever find!

Seldom have I come across a product that delivers so much. This printer far exceeded my expectations. The prints are brilliant and sharp. The colors are rich. The printer is very easy to operate. The only quibble I had with it, for someone who is a klutz when it comes to mechanics, is the instructions for loading the paper tray into the printer. The manual does not say the plastic cover at one end has to come off. It took me several minutes to figure that one out. But the price is right and the product is superior to any printer I have seen.

The printer itself is great, if you have a digital camera, this printer justifies your decision to go digital. The pictures are great! The set up was okay, had to update the drivers and reinstall a few times to get the USB connection to work. I had a time finding support on line from sony because the web site is hard to navigate. I am having a time finding the paper and ribbon ... All in all, I enjoy having the printer, I can even make copies of other pictures with my scanner taken by a film camera. Do the reseach and find a few sources for the paper.
