Do-it-yourself Ordering for High-speed Prints

Digital Photo Center print ordering terminals feature a simple user

interface that let customers order their own prints, reducing the

workload for your staff, eliminating mistakes, and preventing lost media.

The Thermal Photo Printer can produce a high-quality 4 x 6-inch print in

just 8 seconds*. And you can boost output

speed by linking multiple printer units to

each in-store terminal. As your digital camera

print business expands, a high-performance

Digital Minilab Frontier can be connected to

the system, giving you the capacity to

process high volumes of print orders.

Easy Maintenance

The ASK-2000 is exceptionally easy to maintain. Its chemical-free

dye diffusion thermal transfer printing system uses only paper

and ink ribbon which can be accessed easily by opening the front

cover. No light-sensitive materials are required, so the unit can be

installed and operated in normal surroundings. Powered by

standard AC100-240V current, the ASK-2000 is ready to print at

the touch of a switch.

Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer Printing System

An ink ribbon coated with dye is heated by a thermal head, and the dye is transferred onto special coated paper, forming visible images. Density and gradation of the print can be controlled by varying the input energy of the thermal head. The resulting rich gradation creates beautiful, natural-looking prints resembling traditional photographs. And a protective layer of over-coating ensures the beauty of the images is preserved.
