Its compatibility with numerous memory card formats offers users broad flexibility in photo sourcing without needing intermediate devices.

The built-in LCD screen allows for convenient photo preview and selection directly on the device.

The printer's compact design makes it suitable for both office environments and personal use, saving space.

Fast print times of under a minute per photo help efficiently handle batch printing needs.

Limitations

The Sony DPP-FP97 supports only 4x6 inch photo prints, limiting options for other photo sizes.

Its print speed, while adequate, is slower compared to some newer models, which may affect high-volume printing tasks.

The device has limited editing capabilities, such as no image enhancement or cropping functions on the printer itself.

Connectivity options are restricted to USB; there is no support for wireless interfaces like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Consumables such as dye-sublimation print media and ribbons can be relatively costly and less commonly available since the device is discontinued.

The LCD screen, while useful, is small and may be challenging for detailed photo assessment.
