Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DPP-FP95 Picture Station Digital Photo Printer with 3.6-Inch LCD Tilt-Adjustable Display
Customer Review: An upgrade from my old Hi-Touch 6PS
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to own a Hi-Touch Imaging (HiTi) 640PS, which was as good as this in the printing department but lacked in software - but the hiti's UI in the standalone department was especially atrocious, as it would be fussy in the pictures it detected on the flash-based cards, and the final straw came when it couldn't read any of the modern cards anymore. So I was prompted to purchase this one.
The quality of this printer is good. It is based on dye-sublimation technology and that is important. There are cheaper inkjet-based printers for photos on the market - but almost always you can tell it comes from an inkjet through the dotting that doesn't really blend together, or that that the prints are in danger of smearing just from the sweat of a hand, or the ink heads dry out with several weeks/months of nonuse.
Dye-subs have none of those issues and I like it that the photo print packs come with the cartridges needed to print, no extra ink needed. It even prints a clear coat to protect the photo and give it that glossy look. Quality-wise, it's hard to distinguish copies from this machine versus the store.
The screen is also nice and big which makes it easier to handle. I think the UI is rather intuitive and it supposedly handles the BIONZ information from Sony Cameras as to autoretouch the images for you. Although I haven't personally seen any noticeable difference between pictures from my Sony camera or my Panasonic when printed on this.
It makes 4x6 prints. You can get a print pack of 120 for around $30. This was cheaper than my previous Hi-touch.
It reads the modern cards as well. If I had a complaint, it was that the card reader wasn't modular, meaning that when new cards (of much higher capacity or just plain different design) inevitably come out - this printer will be outdated without a way to upgrade it. Like my hiti.
I don't currently see any residential printer on the market with modular card readers though. The ones in the store, the kiosks, look and are reasonably modular. They don't replace the machines, just take out the old card readers and install new ones -- perhaps with a software upgrade to the machine. Oh well, it's a manufacturer-impose limitation of these machines, which you will have to keep in mind.
All in all, one purchase I'm very happy with.

Giant 3.6-inch Screen for Instant Touch-ups Without a Computer
The DPP-FP95 printer features a 3.6-inch adjustable LCD screen and an intuitive interface that makes it a breeze to create keepsakes and scrapbooks. Scrapbook templates offers different photo layouts and backgrounds, letting you simply pick what you want while the printer does all the work.
An auto touch-up feature can quickly correct common photo problems and lets you easily correct exposure, sharpen focus, remove red-eye, and smooth skin tones. Additionally, the printer features a variety of filters to add different artistic effects to the image. For example, the partial color filter lets you remove color from a photo except in the center; a paint filter makes the image look like it were printed on a canvas; the cross filter makes lights look more dramatic; monochrome and sepia filters creates an artistic and dramatic look; and the fish-eye filter allows you to add a new perspective to portrait and landscape photos. You can also enlarge, crop, and rotate all images.
All this can be done without a computer, as the printer has a built-in memory card reader that is compatible with Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo, SD Memory Card, and xD-Picture Card. Most PictBridge-enabled cameras can also be connected directly to the printer. The printer natively supports JPEG, TIFF, and BMP file formats. Of course, you can also connect the printer to a computer via USB and print out photos that have been edited and manipulated on your computer. In addition, printer has an HDMI output that allows you to preview and share high-resolution photos before you print.

Thanks to the BIONZ digital imaging processor, the printer can access data in images created from Sony digital cameras and use this data to automatically adjust settings for the best print based on the settings used when the photo was taken.
The Sony DPP-FP95 photo printer is backed by a 1-year warranty.
