  1. Macworld

    The Olympus P-400 is a desktop printer that uses dye-sublimation technology, a process in which dye is heat-transferred to the photo paper in five separate layers: yellow, magenta, black, cyan, and finally, a protective overcoat. The actual output from the printer is so impressive that we nominated it for a Macworld Eddy Award in January 2001. The P-400 is heavier and larger than your average desktop ink-jet printer, weighing about 26 pounds without the paper tray. Read more

    With this $999 letter-size photo printer, Olympus manages to leverage the benefits of dye-sublimation printer technology while skirting some of its drawbacks. Read more

    Unfortunately, this machine does not work yet. Rather than hassle the return centers and all that, I am electing to take it to Olympus, down the street from me, and pay to have it fixed. Hopefully I can then update this review. Olympus claims the printer works, but it will not for me. I have a Mac, so probably that is the problem. It is gathering dust as we speak, and I will eventually put it in the dumpster. Read more

    Okay, best printer ever but i have some issues and surprisingly, no one mentioned these. When printing a picture with even colored blue sky, i get a bit of banding. It is barely there but still, enough to anoy me a bit. Also, my blues are a bit muddy. Overall, colors are fantastic but blues are a notch under the high end ink-jet printers. Sharpness is beyond belief. Read more
