Mac Users Avoid This Product!!!!

I used this printer for quite some time with my Pismo running OS 9.2. When I purchased a Powerbook G4 running OS X, this printer was obsolete, i.e. no drivers available. Sony was absolutely not interested in making a driver for this printer and could not care less about the customer STUCK with this pathetic piece of equipment.If you are a mac user forget it.This printer is not worth a dime.If you already have one, find a PC user to sell it to.Shame on Sony for not working with Apple.If I could give...

Some hints for getting the best output

This printer produces impressive output, although the colors have a little too much magenta. The resolution is specified as 403 dpi but to get a 1:1 pixel mapping from (say) photoshop you need to set the image resolution to 403.66 dpi.It is correct that Sony do not officially make the Mac OS X drivers for this printer available for download. They do ship on the install CD though. A google search for "DPP-EX5_EX7" should locate the driver on the internet....

I am unable to coax it to print in Classic (OS X's emulator for OS 9.x), and so the printer now lies in state on my desktop.Since Sony now only supports Windoze, I can only warn...

Great quality but colour levels are off a bit

The print quality on this little printer is fantastic....you would not be able to distinguish it from proffessional digital photo lab grade I'm sure. It can be used by itself and a Memory Stick (or other media card via a 'PC card'), plugged into a tv monitor or via a computer. To utilise it's built in effects options (such as gretting card and other visual effects) it must be connected to a tv set. Unfortunately you can not do this with the computer (which seems strange and unnessessary).Loading...

Sony Digital Printer- DPP SV55

Great Unit, makes beautiful pix.Each time you print 25-30 pix on 3x5 or 4x6 you put in a new ribbon cartridge which comes with the paper.Couldn't be happier, paid a very reasonable price from VDO Specialities.Great outfit to do business with!They were concerned with some early misgivings I had and called me!Offered to refund and pay for return, said they were going to refund my money anyway because of the misunderstanding!Guy named Mike Walker, super to do busines with!Highly recommend VDO Specialties...
