Sony Home Photo Printer DPP-FP90 & DPP-FP70

Hong Kong, March 1, 2007 – Sony Corporation of Hong Kong Limited today launched two new home photo printers, the DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70. Both new models are easy-to-use home photo printers with superb functionality, premium quality and stylish design. Featuring a 3.6-inch, tilt-adjustable Clear Photo LCD and a 2.5-inch TFT LCD with fixed viewing angle respectively, the DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 can enlarge images of up to 5 times of the original sizes for focus and colour checks. Thanks to the high-performance Bionz™ Imaging Processing Engine, the DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 can process image data at approximately 5 times faster than conventional photo printers, with a resolution of up to 48 mega pixels. Moreover, the Sony TruFast printing technology produces high-resolution print-outs at a remarkable rate of one 4”x6” print per 45 seconds. Both the DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 utilise refined Sony Dye Sublimation Technology which applies layers of colour dye to create continuous tone images and realise 256 gradations in each of three colours to get rich colour and smooth gradations without any “grainy look”. In addition, the printing process is completed by Super Coat 2, a unique Sony lamination. This amazing final touch not only protects photos from colour shift and fading but also makes the print resistant to water, heat and fingerprints. The two new photo printers are also highly powerful in post-editing. The new auto touch-up function automatically corrects defects such as red eye, backlight and out-focus. The Face Detection technology integrated into the auto touch-up function will automatically track human faces for the Dynamic Range Optimiser to restore natural face colours. In addition to conventional filter functions (sepia, monochrome, paint and fisheye), the DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 also come with Cross-filter and Partial colour filter for greater editing enjoyment.

The DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 photo printers support 24 kinds of memory cards and can be connected to cameras with PictBridge compatibility. Furthermore, USB memory or HDD supporting mass storage class can also be connected to the two printers via USB connection. In addition to an index print capable of showcasing up to 70 images on one index, the DPPFP90 and DPP-FP70 also provide a wide range of creative printing functions. The 9 templates for calendar production are fun to play with while the layout print function allows users to configure composite images into 2, 4, 9, 13 or 16 photos per print page. Moreover, the newly added ID photo and superimpose functions offer exciting editing effects. Simply setting height and width, the ID photo function will automatically lay out an image for multiple reproductions conforming to 4”x6” paper size and generate pictures with user ID. Using the superimpose mode, users can add template messages configured in the printer or messages and illustrations done by hand to create customised messages, greetings and invitations. The Sony DPP-FP90 and DPP-FP70 photo printers will be available from end of March 2007. For customer enquiries, please contact Sony 24-hour customer service hotline at (852) 23452966. ###
