For a start, it uses dye sublimation to produce a print with no dots – not even under a magnifying glass. You operate it with a small, handheld controller and it rolls sheets of photo paper backwards and forwards under its print head four times for each print. It uses no ink and no toner, but you pay a constant price for each print, no matter how much of the paper is covered. Intrigued? This printer is from the upper end of a range of products from the Taiwanese company Hi-Touch, which are now available in the UK. They vary in price and specification, such as the size of prints they can produce, the resolution they print at and whether they print from camera memory cards, a PC, or both."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/1556-1.jpg" /><br /><br />This is a novel approach to producing as close to true photographic print from a computer printer as is possible. It’s very easy to use and Hi-Touch claims the printer is popular with professional photographers. I just wish it were cheaper than the current $500 price tag.
