Sony DPP-FP50

Assuming your camera uses the right memory card format, the Sony DPP-FP50 will let you preview your photos, and even edit them, on your TV.

Prints from computers, PictBridge cameras, and memory cards. Can use TV to preview pictures on memory cards. Thermal-dye output is waterproof. Good performance.

Built-in LCD is hard to read. Front-panel controls are confusing. As with most thermal-dye printers, cost per print is relatively high.

Sony DPP-FP50

A member of Sony's line of dye-sublimation photo printers, the DPP-FP50 is a sleek little unit designed to look stylish yet unobtrusive in your living...

Good connectivity, aesthetically pleasing, fast printing, excellent image quality

High print costs

The Sony's design, features and quality prints make it a fine choice. If Sony could get the cost per print down, it would be a must-have product.

Sony - DPP-FP50

The Sony DPP-FP50 is a dye sublimation printer that prints photos on either 6 x 4-inch or 5 x 3.5-inch postcards. Technically it is very similar to a number of other dye sub printers on the ...

This is a decent dye sub printer that churns out 6 x 4 prints in one minute and twenty seconds. The running costs are reasonably low and the print quality is good, however the monochrome text display makes this printer rather awkward to use.
