A great photo printer. Setup (USB) was a snap on a W98SE PC. The only complaint I have is that the documentation is a bit sparse. I had trouble printing the whole picture on the paper until I used the supplied software to resize the picture. It took some playing to get it right, but the results from my Sony FD-91 are great...

From the moment the Sony UP-DP10 printer arrived, everything has gone smoothly. The USB interface works, the software installed easily (and works once installed), and the pictures are spectacular (to say the least).

It is even small and unobtrusive on the desktop -- it fits where a "standard" printer wouldn't.

I'm very happy with this printer!

I have the Kodak DX3500 digital camera and it's great to work with. I also have several printers, all HP. The problem with printing 4x6 pictures is that the paper doesn't always feed correctly. I have several friends who have HP inkjet printers and they all have the same problem. Can't tell you how much paper and how many cartridges I've gone through trying to get scanned photos or direct download from the Kodak to print on my wide bed HP. When I saw this I decided to give it a try, and I love it! It's very compact, very quiet and prints beautiful pictures that are photo processing quality. The greatest thing is that it is a thermal print so the pictures never fade as they do with regular inkjet. This printer uses a specialty ribbon and paper and yes the print packs are a little pricey ($15 - $20 each for 25 prints), but considering the quality of the pictures and what you save in premium photo paper it's well worth the price (and remember your memories will never fade). And if you balance the cost against the price of film and film processing, this is one of the best bargains you'll ever find!

Don't be misled by the other reviews for this product. Installation and use couldn't be any easier if you have basic familiarity with a PC and using a printer. The print quality is just like from the photomat and it prints pretty quickly. We have found a supplier for the paper online that is not only cheaper, but delivers next day shipping for less than ... Enjoy the product and don't believe the hype that is listed in other reviews.

The printer itself is great, if you have a digital camera, this printer justifies your decision to go digital. The pictures are great! The set up was okay, had to update the drivers and reinstall a few times to get the USB connection to work. I had a time finding support on line from sony because the web site is hard to navigate. I am having a time finding the paper and ribbon ... All in all, I enjoy having the printer, I can even make copies of other pictures with my scanner taken by a film camera. Do the reseach and find a few sources for the paper.

I've tried purchasing the paper packages (required for use) for this printer, with no luck at all. Amazon keeps saying that it has some, then cancels my order. MacConnection, PCWarehouse, and all the other online catalogs either don't stock it or don't have it. Have looked for 1 1/2 months now and am considering getting a different printer. Perhaps this is why there are so many for sale ... on zshops.

Seldom have I come across a product that delivers so much. This printer far exceeded my expectations. The prints are brilliant and sharp. The colors are rich. The printer is very easy to operate. The only quibble I had with it, for someone who is a klutz when it comes to mechanics, is the instructions for loading the paper tray into the printer. The manual does not say the plastic cover at one end has to come off. It took me several minutes to figure that one out. But the price is right and the product is superior to any printer I have seen.

I had bought this printer December 2000 and had no luck as to where to purchase the paper. It's listed online on Sony.com but it's been backordered since December. There's no other paper or ink products that's compatible with therefore making this printer useless.

If you are looking for a great 4x6 printer go no further. This printer give you great picture that equals professionals prints. The paper can get easily on line through B&H in NYC. You just click and print, no trimming needed and the color are guarantee to last. Great deal, simple to use and give you excellent quality 4x6 pictures !

Although the images are great, when you finally get it to work, the paper is always getting stuck. The paper was very difficult to find. Drivers are near impossible to find... Get the HP photosmart printer (the small one) and you will be thrilled, as I am
