DS820A

DNP DS820A 8-Inch Dye-Sublimation Photo Printer

The DS820A is DNP’s 8-inch dye-sublimation photo printer, engineered with advanced dye-sub technology to deliver exceptional image quality, expanded print flexibility, and high-volume performance for studio and event photographers.

Advanced Performance & Print Technology
The DS820A incorporates next-generation components designed to maximize productivity and print consistency, including:

• Latest-generation thermal print heads
• Higher optical density for richer blacks and more vibrant colors
• Improved heat dissipation to support higher throughput during extended print runs
• Expanded print size options, including panoramic formats
• Low-power standby mode to reduce energy consumption when idle

Premium Image Quality & Finishes
Paired with DNP’s Pure Premium Digital media, the DS820A produces professional-grade prints that meet the exacting demands of today’s photographers. In addition to standard glossy and matte finishes, the DS820A supports luster and fine matte finishes, which add subtle texture, depth, and visual appeal—perfect for portraits, events, and display-quality prints.

Stunning Panoramic Capabilities
The DS820A delivers breathtaking panoramic prints in 8x18”, 8x22”, 8x26”, and 8x32” sizes using DNP’s standard media—no specialty paper required. Panoramic printing is enabled when the printer is running DS820A firmware v1.52 or later and used with the WCM-Plus or DNP’s Hot Folder Print (HFP) Utility v2.2 or later.

*When printing pano prints the printer will print the image in sections and the paper will exit and rewind into the printer several times before being cut. Standard and enlargement print trays cannot be used.

Versatile Print Sizes & Enhanced Driver Features
The DS820A supports a wide range of print sizes—from 4×8” prints up to dramatic 8×32” panoramic images, making it ideal for everything from sweeping landscapes to memorable family reunions.

Driver enhancements further improve usability and workflow efficiency, including:

• Real-time printer status monitoring
• Clear printable size indication
• Automatic ICC profile switching based on media type

Reliable, Energy-Efficient Operation
With improved heat management for sustained performance and an energy-saving standby mode, the DS820A is built for dependable, cost-effective operation in demanding environments. Each printer is backed by a 3-Year Advanced Exchange (AE) Extended Warranty, providing peace of mind and dependable end-user support.
