Dye-Sublimation Printers

Dye sublimation, also called thermal dye transfer, is a printing technique that uses ribbons containing

four colored dyes the printer heats directly into a gas. This way, the four colors are mixed before the

printer applies them to the paper. These printers can produce 256 hues for each of the four colors,

which combine into a palette totaling 16.7 million colors. This results in continuous tone (that is,

undithered) images that come very close to photographic quality.

Dye-sublimation printers produce excellent output, but they suffer in almost every other way. They

are slow and costly, both to buy and to run. They require a special paper type that is quite expensive,

as are the ribbon cartridges they use. However, dye-sublimation technology is quite compatible with

thermal wax-transfer printing; the two differ primarily in the color medium they use. Several manu-

facturers make dual-mode printers that can use both thermal wax transfer, which is less expensive,

and dye sublimation. This enables you to use the cheaper thermal wax mode for proofing and every-

day printing, saving the dye-sublimation mode for the final product and other special uses.

One of the pioneers of this technology, Fargo Electronics, has turned its attention to card printers,

but many other vendors—including Alps, Fuji, Kodak Digital Science, Mitsubishi, Olympus, Seiko

Instruments, and others—have introduced dye-sublimation printers for uses ranging from inexpensive

snapshot printing to high-end graphic arts.

Thermal Wax-Transfer Printers

Thermal wax-transfer printers use wax-based inks, similar to the Tektronix/Xerox solid-ink technol-

ogy, but at a much lower resolution and quality. They apply the ink directly to the page like an inkjet,

not to a drum like a laser does. The process is faster than dye sublimation but is still much slower

than even a color laser. The low resolution (generally 300dpi) means the dots are very coarse and col-

ors are dithered rather than smooth. The print quality suffers as a result when compared to continu-

ous tone output, but it is generally better than the output from inkjets.

In printers that offer both dye-sublimation and thermal wax-transfer options, the thermal wax-

transfer is used for proofing, and the dye-sublimation mode is used for final results. To see the

differences in print quality represented by these technologies, see the Seiko Instruments Web site.

Choosing the Right Color Printer for the Job

Unless you are faced with a very tight budget, you have a wide variety of choices you can make when

it’s time to select a color printer. What kind of color printer you choose should be determined by how

critical you are about the color quality, how long you want the output to last, how fast you want the

output, and whether the output will be considered the final result or is being used as a proof for eval-

uation before a higher-performance printer or typesetter is used to produce the final page.

SOHO users who use color sparingly and print just a few color pages a week can use any of the cur-

rent inkjet printers with resolutions at 600dpi or above, either in a standalone version or as part of a

multifunction/all-in-one device.

If you are an amateur photographer, you might want to consider a specialized inkjet photo printer

with a resolution of at least 1,440×720dpi or 1,200dpi or higher. Even though most of these printers

can be used for text work as well, they are optimized for photos. Some of them use six, rather than

just four, ink colors. If you are looking strictly for snapshot-sized (4”×5”) output, choose from the

low-cost (under $500) 300dpi dye-sublimation printers made by Olympus, Canon, and others. If you

are willing to spend $400–$1,000 or more, you can choose from a variety of specialized models,

including features such as these:
