I went PRINT Crazy! These Printers Can Make You Money!

[@kipling1957]

Never even heard of DSP printers until I watched this!

[@CORYMPHOTOS]

man i been looking all over for info on these printer after seeing them at events..my goal is to sale action sports shots and team photos on the sport and this guy just pointed me in the right direction thanks!!!!!!

[@michaelrauscher3858]

I love the DNP820a and have been using it for over 5 years now, I used to own Old Time Photography business on the Seaside Heights NJ Boardwalk, we used 2 of them all day long. One thing I came up with was when printing 5/7s, always print 2, and your left with a little strip on the side of the paper, I created a completely separate product with that little strip - offering 10 images 1x1 inch in a "Film Strip" always tossed that in for free since it was going to be scrap and tossed away and people LOVED IT. We also were able to aquire those key chain merch with an image on one end and with magnifying glass on the other end- very popular in the 70's and 80's we found a bulk lot of the merchandise for under 5cents per key chain and sold them for $10. It was almost pure profit. I also used the one sheet of 8/10 to create 2-4/6 and you can fill in the rest of the film using the Lightroom print section with other random sized images, this way you never waste any paper or film.

[@michaelrauscher3858]

One other thing I wanted to point out, the business had a 40 foot by 20 foot open entrance and the printer was maybe a few hundred feet away from the Atlantic ocean and the weather outside that came in the front door never effected any prints or the machine. It's really amazing printer

[@adampoll4977]

Been using DNP printers for over 15 years for events, they run hard for hours at a time and I have never had one fail me yet. Great quality and built like tanks. About to give my old DS80 a comfortable retirement as a backup printer and get a new DS820.

[@midwest9757]

I have a brand new ds820A with 2 double roll media sets for sale. Asking $950 for the whole setup

[@adampoll4977]

@@midwest9757 Bit far for me!

[@hobbylover3882]

Thanks for the great video on DNP. I own both DS820A & DS620A printers and using DNP Pure Premium Digital Paper for the ultimate photographs. Highly recommended!

Hello, do you know how he was able to connect his Camera to the computer and print on site out in that field?

[@williefufu2985]

Are you doing on-site printing?

[@FilipMesaros]

Which software you use for printing? Does it support “print set” settings from Canon or Nikon camera? We use print set for events to mark images for printing and printing spftware read only those images from SD card

[@andresalgadomarques]

Loved this video. I'm so tempted to buy the DNP DS 820 😁 The quality and convenience are really appealing to me 👍

[@andresalgadomarques]

Just ordered one DNP DS820 😁

How would you use a dye sub printer?

[@nathanielgelston5620]

8x32!? I'd print things! All the things! Artwalk insta prints!

[@photorectoby]

@@nathanielgelston5620 That would be a very cool use!

[@imagenatura]

I have the Canon Selphy 1300 and it used the same tech. It works WAY better in my dry house!

[@TerryManitoba]

I am considering the "new" Selphy cp1500 or the Liene Amber M200 Battery Edition... After more than a year of use/experience with the cp1300 - any thoughts on which you would choose today if you had to

[@imagenatura]

@@TerryManitoba I wouldn't bother with the upgrade. There's not much there other than the "look". There's also a battery for the cp1300.

Same and I love it

[@patpoulter2668]

Thanks Toby, such an informative video!

[@photorectoby]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BretMiller]

I am seriously considering the 820 rather than an ink jet printer. From what i understand dye sub are more reliable and less prone to issues like dried inks and clogged print heads. Image quality is actually better and lets face it 8x10 or 8x12 is all most people need for photo albums and home display. Larger prints can be ordered out. Prints are really valuable if you have guests in your home or like to give gifts to family and friends

[@photorectoby]

Hi Bret, If you mostly want to do prints I do think Dye Sub is great. I still use mine off and on and no issues even when it sits for longer periods between uses.

[@michaelrauscher3858]

You are so right About durability, I used the DNP820a in a studio a few hundred feet away from the Atlantic ocean on the Seaside Heights NJ Boardwalk and we used it all day non stop for thousands and thousands of prints and then after the 120 day season we I put a plastic cover over the printer and did not see it again till next season, it was not an environmentally controlled room so it got down to freezing temps often, it worked every season for as long as I had the studio about 4.5 years with out fail. This machine is a MONEY MAKER. The versatility is amazing for print sizes 8/10 and under. I'll have to make a video of how I used it the same way and with some added methods that never wasted any film or paper.

[@6chico6]

Amazing. Thank you very much.

[@TheGarrettEStroup]

Waitaminute. If you get 130 8x10 prints out of a 8x10 DS820a roll, isn't that only $0.65/print?

[@adampoll4977]

I think that was the special metallic media price. Standard media is about 65 cents

[@roberthood341]

? you said you can do 4x8 on the DNP DS820A is that correct.

[@charmultimedia8430]

thank you man, for all the info

[@AonghasAnderson]

Does the DNP DS620 support the auto rewind feature for 6x2 photo strips on 6x4 media? I know it works for 6x4 on 6x8 media but I haven't seen anything about 6x2 strips. I don't want the same photo on both, I just want to double the capacity. Thanks!

[@marcoshilbert]

How do you get the printer to print what my monitor is showing me. The dnp printer is printing too dark

[@photorectoby]

Decrease your monitor brightness and brighten the photo more in the editing program. It is always a tricky balance because the monitor is backlit and shining bright into your eyes.

[@SeanBigard]

Thanks for the video, informative as always! You mentioned that you wouldn't recommend this for the at home general purpose printer. If I have a "gp" printer already that doesn't print color would something like this be good as a dedicated photo printer? Or would you still recommend going with another option?

[@photorectoby]

Possibly but at this price point of 1049 for 8x12 max unless you count panos I think it is a bit pricey for home use. The new Epson EcoTank 8550 looks good and cost per print is very reasonable bhpho.to/3B3y9Fg

[@tristanluc7008]

My photo looks good on computer but is horrible when printing out with ds620a. Could you show hoe to edit to print out on ds620a

[@peapodmedia]

what software would you use for event printing? Lightroom or something else?

[@photorectoby]

Lightroom is ok but you might want to check out Darkroom Software - made specifically for this task

[@peapodmedia]

@@photorectoby im a pure MAC guy so Darkroom means a new laptop. I may have to take the plunge 😬. Thanks for response

Can I use other brands paper instead of DNP? Is there a thicker guage DNP paper available?

[@alphonsotate2982]

No it has to be from the manufacturer

[@adiblasi]

Hi - great video, and I'm now subscribing. What are your thoughts on the Epson F570 dye sub for large format photo output? From videos I have seen, everyone buying these printers are making t-shirts and mugs. Wouldn't this printer also be excellent for large photos? Let me know, and thanks! - Alfred

THIS EPSON 570 PRINTER MADE ONLY FOR SUBLIMATION PRINTING . NOT PHOTO PRINTING.

[@alphonsotate2982]

In the eighty's I used my Fargo it was a eleven by seventeen inch dye sub printer with the computers back then the computer I had then it took a hour before the printer to start but once the printer started it took only 22 seconds to print out the huge photo The sad thing that happened Fargo dropped their support of the printer it was the nearest thing to a real photo way better than any ink jet even today

[@douglasdiaz1747]

Sounds good but it has a smaller color gamut, no luster, canvas, or fine art paper. It's great for customers who don't want to pay standard prices.

[@douglasbrown9580]

Yeah but where can I find the 820 and the paper for it in stock right now?

[@photorectoby]

It's true so much is backordered right now.

[@jean-lucpicard3012]

Me: watching this in my darkroom watching prints dry not even owning a digital camera besides my phone.

[@jennifermedia6288]

Bummer pano not on Mac. Have This been updated now ?? Do people actually want a print when they can take a photo outside with their iPhone if they know about light.

[@williefufu2985]

I'm right there with you Jennifer, I have a MacBook Pro and I own the DNP DS 620a, I thought that I'd get the best Computer to use with this Photo Printer and I've been able to print some sizes, the prints are amazing. I really want to do this type of Photography part time. People spend a lot of money on Photographs, people want Photographs. I phones are taking better and better photographs.

[@fotokabine]

Been using DNP printers for photo booths since 2008, so I can't imagine you're talking about ink jet in 2021! However, for real photographers, Dyesub is NO match for *professional* inkjet printers like those from EPSON or Canon if you're comparing color fidelity, color depth, detail, choice of substrate types and sizes.
