Product Description

Remarkable speed. Exceptional quality. Superior color-accuracy. Long-lasting impressions. The stylish P-11 fits every criteria for a premium 4" x 6" photo printer - without the premium price. The P-11 works virtually anywhere with its cool, accommodating design, and its edge-to-edge dye-sublimation printing puts it in a class all its own. Built with PictBridge technology, the P-11 directly connects to any PictBridge-enabled digital camera via USB to produce sharp, vivid prints on the spot, without the use of a computer.

The P-11 uses a dye-sublimation process-just like a professional photo lab-that infuses the ink directly into the paper, followed by a special over-coat layer that seals and protects your photo from UV light, smudging, fingerprints, and even water. Unlike competitor dye-sub printers, the P-11 prints edge-to-edge for true photo-lab, archival quality at 310 dpi. Since there are no microcuts or perforated tabs to deal with, your prints come out ready to enjoy and share immediately. At 33 seconds or less per dye-sub print, the P-11 Digital Photo Printer is faster than any consumer snapshot photo printer in its class.

The space-saving footprint allows you to store and use your P-11 virtually anywhere. Because the 50-sheet capacity paper tray is built-in, the printer does not require any clearance around it during operation. Unlike other dye-sub printers, your pictures are not exposed during the 4-pass printing process meaning they are protected from dust and debris. Postcards, 4" x 6" and 3.5" x 5" paper sizes are accommodated.

Drivers for Windows XP/2000 are included, and the printer is compatible with Mac OS 10.2 or higher via download. The manufacturer includes a six-month limited warranty.

What's in the Box:
P-11 photo printer, AC adapter with power cord, paper tray with 3.5" x 5" conversion tray, starter ribbon and 4" x 6" paper kit (five prints), CD-ROM with drivers, instruction manual, warranty card

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Photos... but a bit expensive, January 30, 2006

This review is from: Olympus P-11 Premium 4 x 6 Digital Photo Printer (Office Product)

The Olympus printer truly produces photos that are indistinguishable from those you'd get in the photoprocessing stores or online photo sources.

Unfortunately, the printer prints on the dark side and colors on all photos must be brightened (almost to the point of color blow out) to correct this. Also, the printer drivers didn't install correctly for me. The default appears to be Spanish rather than English. Reinstalling using the provided CD has not rectified the problem.

Also, potential purchasers must seriously consider whether about $29 is a reasonable price for 100 prints, because that is what the printer packs cost. Yes, the convenience of printing at home (or during travel) is grand, but many online companies now offer volume pricing for print orders.

This is the printer that I have been waiting for. It does exactly what I hoped for. The color is rich. The pics look as good or better than a processing house would do...and much quicker. Very simple to use, even I couldn't screw it up. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY PLEASED WITH PRINTER, July 10, 2006

Very happy with this printer. I am, always, concerned with quality performance. But, also with price. I wanted a photo printer that I could print right here at my computer and not have to go to some store to print out. So, the price of paper and printing film was a concern, too, but not to important for the low quantity I print. This printer was less than half price to purchase from Amazon.com, and the paper and film less than half price, too. So, I feel I am getting what I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. Can't beat that! Plus, the most important part, the prints are absolutely beautiful, every time. I recommend this printer and Amazon.com price and service.
