Sony DPPSV55 Review by Todd Larson (Wyoming, MN United States)
I had done a lot of research on the Sony digital photo printer, and some others, online and decided to go with the Sony DPP-SV55. I was excited to try it out because the reviews online raved about it, but I was totally blown away when I saw the quality of the first few prints I made. The glossy finish, dye sublimation richness, sharp color, and 4x6 borderless prints make them indistinguishable from prints you get from a Photo Lab. We have young kids and do a lot of scrapbooking, so the glossy finish images were essential, since ink jet images will fade after only two years.Setup was very easy. In a matter of 10 minutes, I was plugged in and making prints. The paper packs make the process even easier because each pack comes with the film cartridge to print all the sheets from the pack. Loading the paper and cartridges is also very easy. The prints come out fast, and you don't have to wait for them to dry.
The software setup is easy, one quick installation from the included CD. It basically installs the print drivers for the printer. Once the printer is connected with a USB cable (not included), I was immediately able to print directly from the imaging software that came with my Sony D50 Cybershot camera. It also has a built in Creative Print lab program, but you have to hook up the printer to a TV to view and work with it. But the images are nice and you can do some cool things like print photo greeting cards and calendars.
There was no graininess in the prints at all, and the images came from my above mentioned camera (2.1 megapixels). All of the prints we have made turned out wonderful.
I suppose I should mention a couple of cons, but their really not a big deal: The unit does not come with a USB cable for some reason, even though it is required to print from a PC (It does include the video cable). Second, some of the colors on our prints (particularily reds) we a little off and overly bright, but all-in-all, we are very thrilled with the prints it makes.

Received this printer a week ago, and have been very impressed with the print quality. We've only got a 1.6 megapixel camera, but setting the image at 300 DPI and printing at the printer's 403 produces incredibly realistic photos. With the 4 x 6 postcard paper, we get very impressive borderless images. And, the speed is acceptable -- IMO, better than some ink jets. While it is still expensive to run this printer, when you want something that has a longer ink life (from fade) than the typical ink or bubble jet, and you want to avoid little dots or bands, this is the way to go. The only problem I've heard is finding paper & cartridges (Sony packages the paper and cartridges together so you use them as a "set.") With this item, I might just take my film camera out of the rotation once and for all.
Sony DPPSV55 Review by Lordgar (Kansas)
It took me a long time to decide what photo printer to get. After tons of research, I decided to go with the Sony DPPSV55 and I'm totally impressed and happy with the decision I made. The quality of the photos exceeded my expectations and the features are extremely easy to use and navigate and I don't need a computer. I just hooked it up to my TV and I was ready to go. The paper is a little pricey, but for me it's much cheaper than the photo lab. Unlike the lab, I'm in control of what photos I want, how many of each I want, and when I want them. Totally convenient for people like myself that aren't the world's best photographers. But what totally won me over is the dye-sublimation technology with the coating that enables the photos to last much longer and are more durable than the inkjet photos. When I take pictures of friends and family, I would like the photos to last forever. Sony made that possible. Only downside, not that it really bothers me, is the availability of paper at this time since the technology is pretty new. Few places carry it from where I live and right now they are all sold out. I've been ordering mine online through Sony's website. Other than that, no complaints. If you are looking for high quality 4x6 photos at a reasonable price and want your photos to last a lifetime, this is the printer of choice.
