Product Description

With the P-330N, you can make true, photographic prints in about 2 minutes - without ever leaving home. The P-330N has the memory to handle larger, multi mega-pixel files. They're cost-effective because you can preview and choose the images you want to print so you're not wasting money printing an entire roll just to get the ones you want. Or making duplicates of an entire set so you'll have copies of the ones you want to send to your friends or family. Which is why there's no place like home for making prints with filmless photo printing from Olympus.P-300N is designed to print from a wide variety of devices. You can print directly from your Olympus filmless digital camera's SmartMedia Card to create a single image, index print, stickers or multiple prints. Or go completely wireless and insert the memory card from many digital cameras that use SmartMedia to make prints without using cords or cables. And when you connect an Olympus Instant Photo Printer to a serial Mac or Windows PC, you can output any computer generated image - from original artwork to digitally enhanced photographs and downloads off the Internet. Or use the P-330N as a SmartMedia Card reader to download images directly to your Windows 95/98 PC.But that's just the beginning. For an evening of entertainment the whole family is sure to enjoy, connect P-330N directly to your TV, VCR, camcorder or digital camera and show your shots on the big screen. Then select the ones you want to print or save on videotape together. You can even print stills from videotape and sharpen or crop them using the Instant Photo Printers built-in controls. What could be easier or more convenient? It's the way filmless digital photography should be.

I have had this printer for quite a while now. It prints unbelievable pictures that compare to the Kodak photo lab. After I am done taking my shots with my Olympus C-3030zoom camera I insert the smartmedia card directly into the printer, then I plug the printers video output into my television. This printer has some really neat editing features that can be used without your computer. Of course it works really well with my computer. All around it is a really excellent product. I have been impressing my neighbors, and family with this printer. I am getting ready to sell off my regular film eqipment. I just aquired an Olympus P400 digital printer, and all I can say is OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY.................................

My friends are always commenting on the quality of the photos printed out on our Olympus photo printer. They really look like they came back from the photo shop. They are cosmically better than what you can get from your old inkjet, even if you print inkjet pictures on nice paper.

What's more, since you have an opportunity to photo-edit the pictures before you print, you can correct problems that the photo shop will never bother with: remove red eye, reframe, add labels, etc.

My biggest problem is the limited size of the paper. It will print out a photo at a maximum size of about 3.5 by 5. OK for a snapshot but not good enough for anything you'd want to set on your desk at the office. Also the paper is pretty expensive and relatively hard to find. Remember too that they are not as permanent as regular photos-don't set them down near something wet for example, and make sure you let them dry off a bit before you stack them together.

So if you don't need big pictures, you might find this a fine alternative. The photo quality is really excellent.
