Portable printers from Sony

Sony is introducing two portable printers - the DPP-FP90 and the DPP-FP70. The printers are mainly aimed at taking prints from a digital camera without the intervention of a computer, as they have multi slots for card readers which are compatible with 24 types of cards. The printers can produce high resolution printouts in about 45 seconds. According to Sony circles, the printer will be introduced in Korea at first.

The printers use Sony's image processing engine called Bionz. The printers are provided with color LCD screens so that the photos can be viewed before taking printouts. The printers also provides us with facilities for editing the pictures before printing. Another notable feature is that we can write comments on the photos using the "superimpose" technique in the printer. There is an option to make a special coating in the photos which helps them to last for 100 years! The printer has got a nice carry handle also so that it can be carried like a small box.
