Looking for a high volume professional photographic printer with an extremely low cost per print? If so, the Noritsu M300 may be just what you need. The M300 is the latest in Noritsu's line of Digital Dry Printers. The fourth generation digital dry technology from Noritsu uses a 7 color pigmented ink process to produce amazing prints at a fraction of the price of comparable printers.
Here is a chart of common print sizes, print speed, and print cost:
The M300 can print on glossy or semi-gloss (Luster) media and has been tested to have an archive life that exceeds traditional silver halide and dye sublimation prints by decades. The printer has a maximum print width of 10" and though it normally prints on 328 foot rolls of paper, it is possible to run sheets through the printer as well. This sheet capability is perfect for the occasional Canvas print or other specialty material that you may want to use. The printer provides an easy USB 2.0 connection and uses standard 110v power. The inkjet technology means there are no chemicals to deal with and that the printer is environmentally friendly.
If you measure your yearly print volume in tens of thousands, this printer can pay for itself in a very short time. Here is a "cost of ownership" graph that compares the M300 at $0.47 per 8x10 print to a comparable inkjet or dye-sub printer that costs $1 per 8x10:
