Other Features

to maintain as possible, without
making compromises on printing

which are operated via its LCD
panel, without a PC.
Several other features provide
additional flexibility and greater
satisfaction for user and owner alike.

images such as a company logo or a special
promotion when the printer is not in
operation.

Image data spooling*
The SnapLab spools image data to be

more photos while the job is printing.
Sepia / Monochrome

white or sepia-toned images.
Easy to use
The operation of the SnapLab is very simple.

and insert it into the expansion slot.
Text input*
Messages and captions can be placed on
images and on borders without using a PC.
After they have been input, these will appear
on all prints except index and split image
printing. This is a useful feature for identifying
the name of an event or the date of the
photo.
Order management
A print log can be viewed on the LCD and
exported to a MicroDrive or CompactFlash
card in “CSV” format. This exported data
can be used as a Microsoft Excel file on a
PC. In addition, the order number can be
printed, using Sony original pattern

to this high speed, the SnapLab provides
photolab-quality prints, utilising Sony dye

printer drivers to enhance its flexibility.
This allows the user to use powerful editing
functions on a PC that are not available
on the printer.
Border composition*
The SnapLab provides value-added prints
by using borders to overlay preloaded logos,
event names, or a custom-designed frame
to your photo. The additional border designs
can be created using a Microsoft®
Windows®-based version of Adobe®
Photoshop®.

Sony Dye Sublimation Printing Technology
Heat
One of the key benefits of dye sublimation
printing is the wide range of colour
reproduction that the technology makes
possible. The SnapLab uses this printing
method to maximum effect, producing
brilliant, crisp and clear colour prints.
Each of the dye colours – cyan, magenta
and yellow – has a tone range of up to 256
gradations, and Sony dye sublimation
printing blends each and every one of them
to make true full-colour prints.
Ink
ribbon
Printing paper
Other printing methods, such as inkjet,
cannot gradate each dot or blend the colour
dots – that’s why they simply can’t achieve
the same results.
Dye sublimation printing produces truly
photographic-quality prints thanks to a
unique process: ink is converted into a gas
by each heat element on the thermal head
which can apply 256 different densities. This
produces incredibly rich colours with a tonal
range of up to 256 gradations. These
gradations are used to reproduce the tonal
changes and neutral colours that are vital for
creating photo-quality prints.
Thermal head
Sony dye sublimation printing technology is
also
environmentally-friendly.
Liquid
chemicals are not used, so there’s no
chemical waste to be disposed of, and no
drainage needs too be considered when
installing the printer.
Platen roller
Superior Colour Reproduction
Dye sublimation provides rich colour reproduction with 403 dpi resolution
and 16.77 million colour processing for each dot. Compare this to the 7-
colour inkjet method which requires a resolution as high as 4550 dpi
(403x11.3) to reproduce prints of similar quality.
