Olympus P-11 Digital Photo Printer
Olympus P-11 Digital Photo Printer Produces Photo-Lab Quality Prints At Remarkable Speed
Fastest Consumer Snapshot Dye-Sub Printer Delivers Professional Results In As Little As 30 Seconds
The new Olympus P-11 gives consumers everything they could want from
a premium home photo printer including fast photo-lab quality prints,
ease-of-use, portability and affordability. Unlike ink jet prints that
play connect-the-dots to form images, dye-sublimation technology
diffuses ink right into the photo paper, so there’s no smudging or
blotting. The P-11’s edge-to-edge prints emerge dry to the touch and
without perforated tabs. Moreover, the P-11 gives you the option to
print pictures without a computer. Just connect any PictBridge
compatible digital camera directly to the printer and enjoy rich,
continuous-tone prints in 33 seconds or less.
"Dye-sublimation is the gold standard for photographic printing.
When printing at home, the P-11 is as close to professional laboratory
processing as you can get - minus the waiting, of course," said Michael
Barnett, Product Manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "The P-11
produces sharp, color-accurate prints in about 30 seconds - half the
time of other dye-sub printers. And unlike other printers, there are no
microcut or perforated tabs to tear off, so your pictures come out
ready to share."
Fast, Convenient Edge-to-Edge Prints
Olympus designed the P-11 Digital Photo Printer for high-quality prints
at the fastest speed possible. The P-11 prints vivid 4" x 6" (approx.)
or 3.5" x 5" lab-quality, edge-to-edge photographs in 33 seconds or
less - making it the fastest dye-sublimation printer of its kind on the
market today. And since the P-11 prints edge-to-edge, there are no
microcuts or perforations, so your prints look like they were processed
professionally.
Beautiful Continuous-Tone Dye-Sub Printing
In contrast to ink jet printers that use individual dots to create
colors, Olympus precision dye-sublimation vaporizes dye that saturates
the photo paper resulting in smooth, realistic, continuous-tone images
- just like film prints. Because the dye infuses the paper, your
pictures are also less vulnerable to scratches, fading and distortion.
Prints emerge from the P-11 dry, durable, and in archival condition.
Pictures are protected from UV light, fingerprints, even water - thanks
to a special over-coating. PictBridge Compatibility Makes Printing Easy
To make the printing process a snap, Olympus has incorporated
PictBridge technology into the P-11 Digital Photo Printer so users can
connect it to any PictBridge enabled digital camera and print directly
- no computer necessary. Of course, users also have the option of
printing from a PC or Mac. Space-Saving Design
The P-11 has a sleek, compact design ideal for the corner of a desk,
bookshelf, or anywhere in the home. Unlike other dye-sub printers, the
P-11’s paper tray does not protrude from the front of the printer. Not
only does this design allow for a smaller operating footprint (approx.
7"x7"), but prints are also protected from dust and debris during the
printing process.
