Dye Sublimation Printing

Waterproof, scratch resistant gloss prints

Most dye-sublimation printers operate at only 300dpi, giving you a rather ‘soft’ image. The Mitsubishi CP9600DW uses an entirely new 600dpi* thermal print head, giving you beautifully crisp and well-defined colours, with smoother tonal graduation for a truly professional wet-print appearance. A tough high-gloss emulsion coating finishes the print for a durable, waterproof scratch-resistant gloss print indistinguishable from a laboratory gloss print. The print are also exhibit no bronzing once custom profiled, but with colour and black and white prints*In Super Fine mode.

Printer profiles

We recommend obtaining a professional ICC printer profile, which guarantees amazing colour accuracy, allowing you to print directly from your digital camera. The need for any adjustment in Adobe Photoshop should be minimal. Because of the colour tone accuracy achieved, with excellent blacks and neutral greys throughout the density range, you may also use this printer to create superb black & white gloss prints.

Rapid first print processing and printing

Many dye-sublimation printers take a long time to process the first-off image, often taking several minutes to process each new image downloaded from your camera or computer. The Mitsubishi dye sub printers utilise extremely efficient data processing techniques to ensure rapid first print processing and printing, vitally important for event photography, while-u-wait prints and other high production applications, such as wedding albums, package prints etc. Speeds vary from one computer to another, but generally an image-to-print production time of under one minute for a 6"x9" is not unusual.

Largest bulk-roll media available
	High-quality dye-sublimation prints have traditionally been expensive, as media is usually supplied in small packs. The Mitsubishi printers are unique in accepting the largest bulk-roll media on the market, resulting in a cost per copy of 41p+VAT per 6"x9" or 12p+VAT per 4"x6" print. And there is the convenience of needing to change rolls far less frequently.
