Sinfonia Color Stream CS2 (CS2)

We have two of these that we use for photo booth and event photo applications. It's a solid printer, though the advertised print time is...optimistic...with the "real world" time from control-P to print in your hand closer to 25 seconds, though a second print takes about 15 seconds. Have successfully used them at outdoor events as warm as 95 deg. F and cold as 35 deg. F. Have printed tens of thousands of prints on each.

Advantages: Small and light for a dye-sub printer. Prints reasonably quickly. Printer and media are affordable. Up-to-date drivers for macOS and Windows. Color calibration seems stable from roll-to-roll.

Disadvantages: Color calibration is different from printer-to-printer, not as fast as the fastest dye-subs.

We own 5 of these with the oldest being 5 years old. We rarely have issues with these printers other than an occasional trim piece getting stuck and causing a jam. This is an issue on the 4 newer printers since they went from a metal scrap bin to a plastic one. Cost per print is higher than other brands but the paper quality is way better.

Advantages: Small, easy to work on. fast prints only 2 seconds slower than other printers on the market. reliable.

Disadvantages: do not like the newer updated plastic scrap bin as scraps do not always fallin they get hung from time to time and cuase a jam.
