Olympus P-11 Dye-Sub Photo Printer The new Olympus P-11 dye-sub photo printer cranks out perfect (and I mean perfect) 4x6" prints in just over 30 seconds. With true photo lab quality and durability, it's the best snapshot sized photo printer I've ever used. There are two distinct advantages to using a dye-sub printer. First, there are no ink nozzles to dry out or clog up. Second, the professional look, feel, and durability of a dye-sub print simply can't be beaten. Three color passes plus a clear overcoating Like professional quality photo lab printers, the P-11 produces its color by combining cyan, magenta, and yellow in three thermal dye diffusion passes plus a clear overcoat in what's called the subtractive color printing process. #1 #2 #3 Followed by pass #4, a clear overcoating. The 4 pass cycle is fully contained within the printer, no dust or dirt from the outside is exposed to the print process. After the clear overcoating, the finished print is ejected out of the top of the printer into the top lid stacking area . (Don't forget to open the lid before you start to print!) Because the entire printing cycle is enclosed within the printer, plus the fact that there is no ink to clog up or leak, there is no maintenance or periodic cleaning necessary. The prints come out of the printer ready to display. (Most small format printers have microcut or perforated end tabs to snap or tear off to get a finished print.) The finished prints are bright, slick, and snappy, and are as good & durable as the best photo lab prints I've ever seen. Priced at around $149, the P-11 has a finished 4" x 6" print cost of around 30 cents apiece. (Finished print price includes the costs of both the paper and the color ribbon). In summary, the P-11 is reasonably priced, economic to operate, fast, quiet, easy to install & use, and produces virtually perfect color. What more could one ask for? What's in the box: The Printer. AC Adapter (w/power cord). Paper Tray (w/3.5x5 Conversion tray). Starter Kit - Ribbon Cartridge & 4x6 Paper (enough for 5 prints). CD-ROM (Printer Driver). Instruction Manual. Warranty Card.
