The new UP-CX1 high speed Digital Photo Printer offers superb quality and convenience in a very small package. This printer has the ability to create four different print sizes - 3.5x5, 4x6, 5x7 and 4x8 photo greeting cards at fast speeds. The UP-CX1 uses Sony's dye sublimation print technology so the results are long-lasting and professional. The UP-CX1 utilizes roll printing technology which allows for higher volume printing. Easy media replacement and a small footprint makes the UP-CX1 perfect for space-restricted areas. The UP-CX1 also features a Hi-Speed USB (version 2.0) interface which allows for the fastest image data transfer times.
