Sony DPP-FP70 Picturestation News Release Summary:
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2007 — Sony is debuting two lightweight
photo printers with built-in carrying handles and the ability to
print pictures in less than a minute.
The DPP-FP70 PictureStation™ photo printers also offer extensive
editing capabilities with a one-button print process and simple
set-up for operation virtually anywhere.
“Our new personal printers bring the photo lab to you, whether
you’re out at a party or in the comfort of your home” said Kelly
Davis, Sony Electronics’ senior product manager for
PictureStation. “Digital cameras have brought picture-taking
into our daily lives and our PictureStation photo printers are
designed to complement the camera’s ability to capture and share
memories in the moment.”
The printers allow users to preview and edit photos before
printing with built-in displays and enhanced editing features so
the quality of digital images can be maximized. And Sony’s Bionz®
image processor needs just 45 seconds to create a 4 x 6-inch
print from a Memory Stick.™
Edit the Scene on Screen
The DPP-FP70 model features a 2.5-inch built-in viewing screen.
Both photo printers offer the Auto Touch-up feature that
corrects common picture problems like exposure, focus and
red-eye.
With the touch of the Auto Touch-up button on the unit, either
printer can correct the exposure of a face if it is over- or
under-exposed without affecting the exposure of the background.
This same button also gives users the ability to sharpen
out-of-focus images by creating several simulations of camera
lens movement, checking the contrast of each simulation and then
selecting the best simulated image to improve the original photo
for printing.
Making Prints Personal
Sony is also introducing the superimpose mode in both of these
printers. This helps personalize photos by superimposing a
special message. You can select from pre-set phrases, such as
“happy birthday,” “thank you” and “congratulations.” You can
also customize the color and placement of the superimposed text
by using the cursor buttons on the printers.
The filter feature on both new printers offers six options for
modifying digital photos before printing. The cross filter can
make the lights in a photo more dramatic, while the partial
color filter lets you highlight the subject of a photo in full
color and remove color in other areas of the print.
The paint filter adjusts the image to appear as if were printed
on canvas and the monochrome and sepia filters let you create a
more artistic black and white image from a color photo. The
fish-eye filter lets you add a new perspective to a portrait or
landscape picture.
Put Your Best Print Forward
While these new printers are compatible with most PictBridge-enabled
cameras, they offer optimized performance with Sony’s Cyber-shot
and Alpha D-SLR cameras. Each printer can access the MakerNotes
in the picture files created from Sony digital still cameras and
use this data to create the best print based on the settings
used when the photo was taken.
All PictureStation photo printers use dye-sublimation technology
that ensures a continuous color tone for each print. Prints are
sealed with SuperCoat 2 ™ laminate, a durable coating that
protects photos from fading and makes them resistant to water,
heat and fingerprints.
Printing with the DPP-FP70 photo printer costs as
little as 29 cents per print. Sony offers several print packs of
high-quality paper to fit most photo-printing needs. The
SVM-F40, F80P and F120 print packs offer 4 x 6 high quality
papers with snap off edges and SuperCoat lamination in
quantities of 40, 80 and 120 sheets, respectively.
The DPP-FP70 printer will be available in March
for about $150. The SVM- F40P, -F80P and
the F120P print packs are available for $20, $30 and $35,
respectively. Both PictureStation models and the print packs
will be sold online at sonystyle.com, at Sony Style stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail)
located in fashion malls across the country, and at authorized
dealers nationwide.
