Photo printer represents an easy-to-use device that operates by pressing a single bottom. A photo printer is turned on very easily and it prints photos directly from a computer or a digital camera. It should be noted that a sublimation photo printer is created on the bases of high technologies; therefore its printing resolution is higher than that by the laser photo printers. In the issue you receive pictures which correspond to a magazine printing quality 300*300 dpi. The quality of colour rendition makes up 16.7 million colours and tints. Such photo printers dispose of built-in programs that are intended for pictures’ correction. In addition, such a photo printer is very compact, that is why you can even take on the trip.

The principle of a sublimation photo printer is the following: a picture is transferred on a photo paper by the means of heating the dye and mixing of 3 colors at one point. Thus there an imprint remains on a special thermo paper. In the capacity of source materials for the given photo printers one uses film cartridges. The film in its turn has layers of hard dye stuffs which contain three basic colours. These colours are blue, yellow and purple. While heating, the dye evaporates from the film, transferring into gaseous state without any liquid transference. Such transition is called sublimation. Further the gasiform dye falls on the paper. It is worth mentioning that the printing head of a sublimation printer includes tiny heating elements. Each heating element gets warm closely equal. Consequently, dye evaporation and its absorption by photo paper depend on the temperature of the given elements. Such method of printing presupposes safe dye fixing on a paper. In the issue, the surface of the paper becomes smooth and glossy.

Nowadays the sublimation technology has found wide application in the capacity of photo printers for consumer users. The technology in question is highly appreciated by professionals of art of photos as well. Therefore the printers in question are often met at professional workshops and film-developing laboratories. It is notably, that one needs special paper and cartridges for the operating of sublimation printers.

One of the main disadvantages of sublimation photo printers consist in high costs for consumable suppliers, however there is an irrefutable argument. If you want to receive professional photos, a sublimation photo printer is the best choice for you.
