Hi-Touch Photo Printer 640DL Review



Hi-Touch HiTi Photo Printer 640DL
A computer-based commercial unit with 403dpi high resolution. Ideal for mini-lab and business applications, the 640DL is designed for heavy-duty continuous printing and batch printing and is faster, durable and reliable.

Features

D2T2 403dpi True Color Continuous-Tone Printing
Using Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer (D2T2) technology, the HiTi Photo Printer 640DL is designed for those who take precision and quality seriously. The Thermal Print Head heats three ribbon panels that are coated with dyes in yellow, magenta and cyan. The heating process converts the dye to gas which diffuses into a thin receiving layer on top of the paper. A protective coating is then layered on top of the paper to protect the color against water and ultraviolet damage and to prevent the prints from fading.

Heavy-Duty 4x6 Inch Borderless Printing
The Photo Printer 640DL is capable of 30-sheet continuous printing of 4"x 6" borderless photo prints which enables higher productivity rates and decreased labor costs.

Automatic Temperature and Humidity Detection
The HiTi photo printer 640DL features auto-detection of temperature and humidity. The built-in temperature and humidity sensor can detect the working temperature and humidity and adjust the printing mode to fit different printing environments in order to consistently provide the best photo quality available.

"Magic Coating" Technology
Magic Coating Technology keeps your photo prints brilliant with a waterproof layer, which protects them against fingerprint and the UV radiation. It's easy to store your photos and to treasure your live moments permanently.

Economical Printing Capacity of up to 100 Prints
Different paper cassettes allow users to swap easily for various output necessities such as 4"x6" photo paper and various sticker sizes. The 100-sheet capacity is perfect for commercial use.

Parallel Printing (Up to 8 Printers)
The HiTi Photo Printer 640DL allows multiple printer connections through the USB port and an inexpensive USB hub. One PC can connect to and run up to 8 photo printers for heavy-duty photo outputs.

Fuzzy Print Media Management
Whenever the image type and consumable type are inconsistent, the driver will popup a warning message to alert users selecting the correct media; on the other hand, auto searching function of consumable type is implemented in parallel printings.

Unique "Watermark" effect
Choose the built-in patterns or import your own images to create unique patterned photos with a translucent design impressed on the print visible when the photo is held to the light.

Smart LED Messenger
The Smart LED Messenger performs monitoring of the printer's status. The HiTi Photo Printer 640DL features 3 LED lights that communicate information about paper loads, errors, and power status.
