Sony DPP-FP90

 

The DPP-FP90 can be connected to a Windows (2000, XP or Vista) PC and used like any other photo printer with most any photo or graphic application. The printer does not support the Macintosh

Prints are made in about 45 seconds and are sealed with the Protective SuperCoat 2 laminate, resulting in the durability required to withstand UV fading, spills, moisture and fingerprints. The Sony dye sublimation method can print 256 shades for each...

Sony Picture Station DPP-FP90

 

This pint-size device delivers vibrant, waterproof prints in a flash--and boasts a huge display--but those photos don't come cheap.

Attractive, compact design • Easy setup • Excellent remote sharing capabilities • USB port for additional storage

Relatively slow transfer performance • Mapped drives take longer to appear in My Computer • Requires replacement drives direct from Western Digital • Remote desktop and webcam access cost extra

Sony Picture Station DPP-FP90

 

Sony has a history of designing small-format dedicated photo printers that are strong on output quality and speed, but stumble on other issues. These have ranged from the cost per photo in early models to the limited number of memory card formats that...

Fast. High-quality photos. Large LCD for previewing before printing. Low cost per photo for thermal dye

Needs optional adapters for some memory card formats. Photo lifetime is not rated

The small-format Sony Picture Station DPP-FP90 keeps all the good features from Sony's earlier 4-by-6 dedicated photo printers and adds some important new tricks of its own.

Small, lightweight; large LCD; competitively priced prints; quick setup; fun effects

Photos were consistently soft; colors sometimes off; fun effects have limited settings; no battery option; limited to 4x6 prints

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

Sony PictureStation DPP-FP90 Photo Printer Review

 

The Sony PictureStation DPP-FP90 is a $199 compact photo printer that can produce up to 4x6-inch prints, but proves to be a mixed bag. Although the printer itself is small and compact, the prints it produced were rather unappealing, with flat,...

The FP90 is a small printer, measuring just 7.1 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches. One of its best features is the big, bright, 3.5-inch flip-up LCD screen on top. This is much bigger screen than most compact printers, which typically have screens ranging in size...
