Key Advantages

The Sony DPP-FP55 offers vibrant, durable prints with dye-sublimation technology that resist fading and water. It supports direct printing via PictBridge, eliminating the need for a computer connection. The printer's compact size and lightweight design enhance its portability for on-the-go printing needs. Fast print speed delivers a 4 x 6 inch photo in approximately one minute, ideal for quick photo output. User-friendly interface with an LCD screen provides easy photo preview and selection. Compatibility with multiple media types and sizes adds versatility for different printing needs.

Limitations

The maximum print resolution of 300 x 300 dpi is lower compared to modern inkjet printers, resulting in less sharp images for large format prints. Printing costs can be higher due to consumables specific to dye-sublimation technology. The printer lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth prevalent in newer models. It does not support printing directly from memory cards without a computer unless used with PictBridge-enabled devices. Limited editing features on the device itself restrict customization. Production of prints is limited to small sizes, with no support for larger photographic formats.
