Dec 28, 2018
I just invested in the DS40 and it is amazing. I do event photos and this served me justice for on site printing with a large group.

Advantages: Printing time is fast. No wait for multiple prints.

Disadvantages: The printer is heavy.

Jason O'Donnell about  Fujifilm Frontier-S DX100 Printer (DX100W):
Dec 12, 2018
I have one of these that use in my studio - still use our print lab for the big orders but this printer is great for filling orders quickly and for doing panoramic prints.

Thank you for the reviews before me - lets do some math on 100,000 prints - if this printer does 100,000 prints you should be able to make at least $10 profit per print - unless my mat his wrong, that is a million buck in PROFIT you made - not bad for a $3000 printer (rounded up after taxes and shipping).

So now lets calculate the per cost per print taking into consideration the cost of the unit. Using $3000 to make the math easy you divide 100,000 prints by $3000 and you get $0.03 per print (assuming 8x10) - so just make sure you add this onto the cost of creating and printing when you sell a print.

And as for $6000 in useless hardware, when if the mat his still correct, your three machines should of brought you at least $3 million.

Take care of them and they should take care of you.

I do agree with poor customer service - sucks that they require a credit card to just talk to you - the same thing happened to me. If they don't want to deal with customers problems, they should not sell anything. Breakdowns occur but it is how I am treated that really matters to me.

When I buy media, I buy the full set of ink and enough paper to match the ink - huge cost when you do by but more efficient on shipping and you will not run out of paper or the ink. Always have stock!!


Advantages: Great looking prints.
Once it works, goes pretty quick - can take a bit to get the print job over there the first one out.
Huge paper rolls
Ink lasts a long time - at least three rolls!!


Disadvantages: Heavy as hell - huge!!
Cases cost an arm and a leg - why so expensive for a printer case!!!! Had to have one custom made for WAY cheaper!!!
Only max of 8 inches wide - I would love 11 or 13 inches wide - we can dream cant we!!

So far my 525L is 1 yr+. Occasionally the ribbon breaks but easy to roll back on or tape and print. Very fast. Price of 4x6 and 5x7s just dropped by 30%.

Advantages: Speed. Quality. cost.

Disadvantages: Occasional ribbon break. Not a big deal.

The printer itself has been good. Reliable and durable. I am throughly disappointed; however in the reliability of the 6 x 8 media! I have tried the 6 x 8 preforated and plain 6x8 in two different Brava 21 printers and after struggling mightily through paper jams and torn ribbons, I have come to the conclusion these printers do not like that sized media ! I am out over $200 in media plus countess hours reformatting the images so I could print them to 4x6 so I had something to give my clients and save face. Fortunately and as expected, the 2 brava 21?s performance was flawless for 4x6.

Advantages: Reliable - for 4x6 and 2x6

Disadvantages: Unreliable for 6x8

Not dependable. I have three and have had to send all three in for reapairs right after the warranty expired on them. The durability on this machine is horrible. Reapirs are very expensive. Will NOT be purchasing another Fuji product in the future. Definitely not worth the headaches.

Advantages: They print very nice IF you can keep them printing.

Disadvantages: It is very hard to set these up, and color controls are convoluted and require settings in 3 DIFFERENT places. Not user friendly. Fuji Service is horrendous. First question out of their mouth is "we need a credit card" not how can we help you. There needs to be a lemon law for this company.

these are great when new and used regularly, as soon as you start getting clogs though its all down hill, you waste tons of ink trying to clean the head and then have to buy expensive maintenance waste tanks and i the clog is bad enough it has to be sent in for repair whereas every other machine I have ever had has utilities to clean and purge the ink and refill , which is still expensive but less than shipping it off and having down time.
Also color management was a constant moving target with these machines for us and i've done my own printing for nearly 20 years.
when we first got them and got decent color it was like printing money , now i have two paperweights and fuji wants 40.00 just to take a phone call for tech support , you do get it applied to shipping when you have to send it in but that's little comfort when you have nearly 6,000 dollars of dead hardware.

Advantages: when working they are a great value and convenience with low cost per print

Disadvantages: the honey moon is too soon over , make tons of money with these quick and buy them on sale, keep a new one in the box for when the last one fails

This is great printer for my FOTObooth rentals! The price per print is awesome, and the speed at which they come out is pretty amazing too. I've used this with hi-speed events, and it's great. I'm probably about through close to 6,000 prints with no mechanical failures. I will be buying another one soon, as my needs have increased, and I need another one.

Advantages: Really fast, great consistent color, paper rolls lasts long (I print 4x6 at most events and with my FOTObooth rental, so 500 prints per roll is reat!), it's perfect.

Disadvantages: Two things I dislike, there is no catch tray or bin to catch the prints when they come out. So often times, my guests are picking them up off the table / floor / etc. B&H however, sells a catch tray , not sure why it's not an accessory sale here though.

The other thing I don't like is that the case you can buy for it is so expensive, but really not that necessary. If the case had a retractable handle and some wheels so it could be more easily carried and transported, that'd be great.

Heil Photography LLC about  Fujifilm Frontier-S DX100 Printer (DX100W):
Nov 22, 2018
We have several of the DX100's and they are used heavy every week. Our oldest is 3 years old and we are well over 100,000 prints on it! We print 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10's without any problems. Never had lines on 8" Lustre and Lustre is the only paper we use. We use the Fuji Inkjet Paper, but we have used 8" Kodak once and it was just as nice as the Fuji. Not sure what the issue may of been with others leaving negative feedback, BUT this is an awesome printer and DO NOT BE SCARED AWAY! There will always be a lemon and there will always be haters. The Print Heads are Epsons and the head used on this printer has been around for several years and has been used in several Epson models. Including in some commercial units. It is a proven print head. But, like any Inkjet printer. They need to be used weekly and you'll never have clogging issues. Make sure to perform maintenance monthly by keeping the capping station clean. Just like any other Epson printer. By keeping the capping station clean. Will keep the ink from drying out. If the seal is dirty, it's going to dry out the head. Any Professional Printer using these printers for heavy use knows this. Bottom line...This is a great printer for the money and is the cheapest to use for the quality you get. Hope this helps those on the fence. Take a leap and you will not be disappointed.

Advantages: Low Cost and Great Quality

Disadvantages: No back printing on Images like wet lab.

Works great. ICC profiles are available from Mitsubishi. Stock color profiles worked very well provided your PC's monitor is calibrated.

Advantages: Cost per print, fast enough, low purchase price, reliable so far.

Disadvantages: I wish it could do 6x9.

Well the previous review surprised me because I had problems with windows 7 and have to use it on Windows 10. Which limited my flexibility. It does a great job though.

Debra Brown about  DNP DS-RX1HS Photo Printer (DSRX1HS):
Aug 31, 2018
This customer purchased the item at our site.
I guess I haven't had the same experience as everyone else. I am happy with the speed and price as well as the price of the media but my photos print very dark. I have talked with technical support from Imaging Spectrum who then referred me to DNP because they thought something was wrong with my printer after going through my settings and DNP said nothing was wrong and there was nothing else to do other than adjust the image quality whenever I wasn't happy. Imaging Spectrum's customer service was great, DNP's was not in my opinion. I don't use the photo booth as often as most businesses but I'm upset with spending this much money when my $80 HP photosmart printer has better quality.

Advantages: Speed
Lightweight
Media priced well

Disadvantages: Dark photos
Poor Customer service with DNP

We had to replace the print head twice due to the ink drying out. We used the printer almost every day so a lag time between prints wasn't the reason for the ink drying out. Ended up selling the printer on eBay for parts as the print head dried out a 3rd time and the printer was out of warranty.

Advantages: Beautiful inkjet prints

Disadvantages: Ink is guaranteed to dry out at some point and damage the print head.

This is a great printer when it works. The installation of drivers can be a little daunting to figure out, but anyone even remotely knowledgeable with Windows should have no real issues with it.

Advantages: Prints quickly, is durable, great service with IS.

Disadvantages: The cutter, while very useful, cuts st a weird angle sometimes meaning that you could have weird white stripes at either side of a strip or the template could be running between the prints. The print head dies after 2 years every single time. I'm now on my 7th printer purchased (we operate a few photobooths) and that has been my experience every time. It's cheaper to replace than repair the print head. If you need this to last more than two years, look elsewhere.

Purchased this printer back in April and I like it. This is my second dye sub printer. Speed and image quality are important to me and this one delivers. Set up is simple. I'm a few events in and will be purchasing more DNP printers. The value from this printer is allowing my business to grow.

Advantages: Efficient and easy to set up

Disadvantages: Heavy but allows for large capacity media.

This printer is fast! Never had a problem with the printer or the media. I use it with windows 10 and it works fine.

Advantages: It's one of the fastest printers. I think it's reliable too.

Disadvantages: It's not the printer or the media, it's the shipping companies to Hawaii and Alaska kill us.

Apr 11, 2018
This customer purchased the item at our site.
All I can say is wow! We added a photo booth to our DJ business back in Sept. 2017 and we purchased a DNP RX1HS Photo Printer to install in our kiosk. This think has been the most efficient and user friendly printer ever. We've taken it to many events and pushed hundred of photos through it without a single hiccup. On top of that Imaging Spectrum gave us a call about a month after owning the printer to make sure everything was working properly and if we had any questions. Great services & great product.

--- Chase Brake www.cgentertainmentdj.com

Advantages: -Great looking prints
-Fast
-Cheap to run


Disadvantages: Fairly heavy, but nothing out of the ordinary for printers of this type.

When it is working it is wonderful printer, but that when its working.A few years ago I purchased the 1245. It broke down on the very first job. I had to make them send me another printer. Best I can say about it is that it was temperament at best. I had to constantly down load drivers... in the middle of the job the color would start to go weird. Tech told me that my USB cord was cheap and that why that was happing. When the machine became too expenses to repair...I was stupid enough to buy the new CE because the price was good...which bring me to the present day. The first one...the door would not lock...they send me another...second one the paper load light would not come on.... the third one (after I ask them to preform a quality control check) the paper load light will not come on. I am at present waiting on Imaging Spectrum and Sinfonia to return my phone call.
