10. Why should I buy an IP60 over a dye-sublimation photo printer?

• Low cost per print – 0.12 EUR for a 4x6 print
• Fastest print speed – 4x6 print in 7 seconds
• Lightest – only 3,6 kg compared to the standard 15-20 kg.
• Most versatile – print 2x6, 4x6, 6x8, 6x12, 6x18, even 6x24 without having to change media.
  Dye-sublimation printers need to change the ribbon for every size since the individual CMY panels have to be the same size as the print.
  IP60 is inkjet and doesn’t require ribbons.
• Panoramas – print panoramas up to 61 cm (24″)
• Widest range of media – print with glossy, luster, and repositionable adhesive backing, etc.
  Dye-subs are limited to glossy and a low-quality matte finish.
• Highest print resolution – can print up to 1200 x 4800  dye-sub can print 300-600 dpi.

11. What is the maintenance kit?

The Ink Filter Maintenance Kit (SKU 057342) consists of one ink tray felt, two air pre-filters, and three air filters. Based on standard usage, we recommend users replace their filters every six months. Primera PrintHub will also issue a reminder every six months. Replacing IP60’s filters will help ensure the printer is operating efficiently and producing the highest quality output. Specific questions can be directed to DTM Print’s Technical Support team.

12. Is there a wireless printing option for the IP60?

Yes, PTLink is our Wireless Printer Server for IP60. PTLink allows users of iPad® or iPhone® to wirelessly send files directly to the printer. It supports both Ad-Hoc (Hotspot) and Infrastructure (on-site Wi-Fi) modes.

13. Can you print photos directly from your DSLR camera?

The IP60 does not allow printing directly from a DSLR camera through Wi-Fi or direct USB connection. This includes protocols like PictBridge enabled cameras. However, there are a few options and workarounds for shooting and automatically printing. Please visit our knowledgebase article for further details.
