Product Description
Print quality is very good with natural and accurate colours. The dye-sublimation technique means ink is transferred as a vapour from the backing film to the paper, so you get a 'continuous tone' print, very similar to a classic, silver halide photograph. In other words, you don't see the dots visible even on the best inkjet printers. The printer prints three different colours onto the paper: yellow, magenta and cyan in that order, and then it lays a clear transparent layer over the top to protect the printer from light and ozone attack. The cover layer also gives the print an attractive, glossy coating. Even with only three-colour prints, black is well reproduced - again, in contrast to three-colour inkjets.
