Sony is to introduce two new dye-sublimation printers in April that use the same Bionz processing engine as the company?s Alpha 100 digital SLR camera. <\/p>\n
The DPP-FP90 (pictured) and DPP-FP70 will both be able to produce a 6x4in print in just 45 seconds, according to Sony, and will be capable of handling ?48 million pixel images?. <\/p>\n
Sony claims the Bionz engine allows very large image files to be processed quickly, and for the printers to apply automatic image corrections to files before they are printed. <\/p>\n
A Dynamic Range Optimiser – similar to that seen in the Alpha 100 – aims to correct underexposed images and backlit subjects, while Auto Fine Print 4 is said to deal with ?automatic white balance corrections, as well as optimising overall brightness, hue, contrast, gradation and sharpness?for natural looking textures and colours?. <\/p>\n
These printers also interpret data embedded in images shot on Cyber-shot and Alpha products to help them understand the conditions in which each image was taken. <\/p>\n
Sony also claims these printers ?can even correct intelligently for incorrect focus?, while face detection technology identifies people in pictures and ensures print brightness is tailored accordingly. <\/p>\n
The DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 are PictBridge compatible and both have slots for a wide range of memory cards, including Memory Stick, CompactFlash and SD. <\/p>\n
Both are also able to print directly from USB flash memory devices and external hard drives, as well as via a Bluetooth adapter for mobile phone printing. <\/p>\n
The DPP-FP90 has a 3.6in tilting LCD screen and the DPP-FP70 has a fixed angle 2.5in monitor both of which can be used for selecting, cropping and rotating images, as well as adding effects such as sepia, b&w and colour filters. <\/p>\n
The DPP-FP90 is set to be priced at \u00a3150 ($200) and the DPP-FP70 \u00a3120 ($150). They are due to be available in the UK from April.<\/p>\n
