Sony DPP-SV55 Produces the BEST Photos!

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: You can?t beat the quality it produces for a printer that costs about $350.
Review: This is got to be the Best digital photo printer on the market today for the average consumer. A friend of mine bought one and wanted me to check it out. I was amazed at the quality of the prints, they are as close to a developed 35mm photo can be...

The Future of Digital Printing

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you like digital photography & impressing your friends with the latest gadgets, this printer is for you!
Review: I'm going to do this review with limited technical specifications, and more my personal opinion & what I know about this printer. (you can get specs at www.sony.com)

The Sony DPP-SV55 is a dye-sub printer, which appears to be the latest...

quality prints in the comfort of your own home

Date of Review:  May 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Best photo printer on the market for the money. Don't be fooled by the resolution at 403x403.
Review: I went to Circuit city looking for a photo printer. I looked at the HP 100 because my brother uses it for his photo's. That has a 2600x1200 dpi. This is the most confusing aspect about printers. You can't measure the quality of prints by that...

SONY DPPSV55 - My own Photo Lab!

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend this all the way! Easy to use, excellent quality, this truly completes the at-home photo lab!
Review: [First, there is an error in Epinion's listing, this is also PC compatible (as of now it just says Mac)]

I had a spending cap of $500 for purchasing a photo printer and of course I wanted the best my money could buy. After researching and...

One hour photo? How about, 90 seconds!

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you want 4x6 prints from your computer, there is no comparison. Get this printer and fool even your local photo lab. You don't even need a computer!
Review: Don't be fooled by the DPI ratings of "photo quality" inkjets. They don't even come close to Sony's dye sublimation technology. There are no dots to see. Colors are laid down one at a time, one over the other. Also, these images do not run when wet...

Sold on this printer on the very first day!

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Shop around and find a good price, but if you want to print photos at home, buy this printer.
Review: Well, I'm impressed! A barrier to electronic photos in my household was the quality of ink jet printers for photos and the fact that you had to buy large, expensive sheets and cut your photos to size. No more!

In the 48 hours I have had my...

Sony DPP-SV55 - My own photo lab!

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: After 1-1/2 years of use, I highly recommend it. It's easy to use, never had a problem, excellent long term quality, and completes the at-home photo lab!
Review: I have owned this printer for a 1-1/2 years and think its one of the best computer/electronic investments I've ever made. I originally reviewed this over a year ago under a different item title, "Digital Photo Printer SV55". Due to the new category...

Great little printer

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great little printer which can now be found for a song !!
Review: I bought this printer from Best Buy for only $199 because they will no longer be handling them. I really wanted a DPP-SV77, but could not resist the price. I rushed home with my new toy and hooked it up to my TV (acts as a monitor).

I...

Great Printer!!

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great quality, easy to use, limited to 4x6 or smaller, not very easy to find media in store (but very easy on internet). Finished prints are remarkable!
Review: The Sony DPP-SV55 printer is an outstanding quality printer from the name we've all come to correlate with quality. The prints are photo lab quality and just about everyone who looks at the prints actually thinks I got them done at a lab. The...

Useless printer driver cripples an otherwise excellent product

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy it for black and white photography or if you don't mind doing constant colour corrections before printing. Avoid it if you are using Windows XP.
Review: I mostly agree with the opinions expressed by the other owners as far as print quality is concerned, but this printer has one very serious and inexcusable flaw: it's printer driver.

The printer driver has very few options and a number of...
