Winter 2004-5 - Karlu Photographic

Hi-Touch Printers
Dye-sublimation printing has been around
for some time, but generally only at high
prices. Instead of an inkhead, these printers
pass the paper three times over red,
green and blue dye ribbons which transfer
the colour (or ‘sublimate’) to the paper.
Compared to inkjet printing, dye-sub
offers several adbantages:
� Economy. Paper and ribbons are
supplied in a pack which is loaded into the
printer. As there is exactly the right quantity
of ribbon for the paper, there’s no
waste, unlike many inkjet cartridges.
� Speed. A print is produced in around 45
seconds.
� Durability. The print is completely dry
on exit, and has similar lightfastnes to a
conventional photo print.
Hi-Touch 640PS
� Produces 6x4” prints
� Needs no computer – the handheld
controller allows selection, editing and
adjustment of images.
� 403x403dpi is equivalent to 6400dpi on
an inkjet printer – just like a real photo.
� Card slot supports CF/MS/SD/MMC/SM
� 1.6” colour LCD monitor
