Customer Review: It's Prrrrriint-tastic - hurt my tounge rolling the "r" there
Summary: 5 Stars
Seriously - my tounge is really sore now. I gotta get it back in shape in time for Talk Like A Pirate Day on Sept 19 (which is a Saturday, so I can't wear my pirate costume to work that day. Well, I could, but nobody ELSE would be there and what's the point of costuming if you don't show it off? And when the traveling Holloween costume store reopens in August (and I saw Holloween/Fall decorations at the store this morning - REALLY! THIS WHOLE SHOPPING HOLIDAY-SEASON ACCELERATION HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND!), I can buy more accessories for it. Pirates gotta accessorrrrrrrrize properly.
And if I couldn't be a pirate, than what would be the point of taking pictures and printing them on this ultra-super-dooper-wonderful-speedy picture printer. Does everything I need and then some. Just a really great specialty purpose printer. Even for non-pirates, it's a great little printer.
Customer Review: Very good printer
Summary: 4 Stars
The only limitation I found with this printer is that if you want to have a larger copy of your picture you will have to take elsewhere.
Otherwise, if you are happy with the top size printing of this machine then this will be excellent for you. The quality of the prited photograph is great.

Customer Review: FYI
Summary: 4 Stars
Just beware, printer does NOT come with paper or ribbon. Don't be surprised when you open the box and find you have to make another trip to the store before you can start printing. Bad move, Sony. Shame on you!!!Customer Review: Pictures are way over-saturated and look fake
Summary: 2 Stars
I had seen some test prints from this printer and thought the colors looked beautiful, so I bought one. Boy was I disappointed. While the colors were bright and vivid, much more so than I've seen with Costco prints, the photos were way oversaturated, making everything look fake. I played with the settings and was able to improve it somewhat, there's a setting called autofine print5 which was turned on (set to 'photo'). I turned it off and the pictures looked much better, but they still paled in comparison to what I could get with the cheapest Costco print. I don't know if it's the printer's fault or the software. I think with the dye sublimation technology, the possibility of getting prints of equal or better quality than store bought prints is there, but for whatever reason it just can't do it yet.
I think slowly the medium by which people view photos is switching to digital only, so the need for high quality prints to put in photo albums is diminishing. I bought this printer hoping to get something near the quality that I can get in the store. That way I could play with the brightness and colors and get instant feedback. However, this printer just couldn't do it. Quite disappointing.
One last thing, you can't print directly from a Mac with this printer. This seems preposterous to me, that in this day and age people are making printers that are not Mac compatible. It's simple enough to transfer photos to a memory card, but still, why should I have to do that in 2008?
