DNP Firmware Update Adds Pano Printing, Luster Finish
27 December 2016
DNP has released software updates for its DS620A flagship dye sublimation printer that enable panoramic printing a a luster finish mode. The new Windows software includes DS620A Firmware v1.41, DS620A Driver v1.0.4.2 and Hot Folder Print Utility v2.2. No Mac OS versions are available.
The updates enable 6x14-inch and 6x20-inch panoramic prints from DNP's 6x8-inch media which uses a different dye ribbon than the more economical 4x6-inch media. Pano printing is only supported through DNP's new Hot Folder Print Utility v2.2, however.
"Panoramic prints are costly and time consuming to create with an inkjet printer," said Katsuyuki Oshima, DNP IAM president. "With the introduction of panoramic print functionality to our DS620A dye-sub printer, photographers and photo booth operators can now offer high quality panoramic photo prints quickly and at a rate that is both affordable to their customer and profitable for their business."
The HFP Utility v2.2, which can also set a time out amount for multi-cut print jobs, features expanded print finish support with the addition of a new luster finish and the ability to reposition the app window.
The new DS620A Driver v1.0.4.2, which apparently is also only available for Windows at the moment, provides improved usability and a new luster finish mode to the existing glossy and matte finishes. Luster finish mode allows for just the right amount of depth and pattern to the finish to create true professional-grade photo prints. The driver also boasts improved intelligence and will recognize media and print size as well as optimize media usage when printing.
All the updates are free downloads available on the DNP Web site.
