Fujifilm Frontier DL600 Dry Minilab

Photofinishing Minilabs

Valhalla, NY—Fujifilm first showed its Frontier DL600 inkjet-format dry minilab at photokina 2010, in response to the growing demand from small and medium-size photo shops for dry printing equipment. 

The DL600 is equipped with an ink head engineered exclusively to handle five different colored inks, Fujifilm “Quality” inkjet paper, which was specially developed to maximize the different colored inks, and Fujifilm’s proprietary image-processing technology—Image Intelligence. The dry minilab features a 720-dpi mode for regular printing and a 1,440-dpi high-quality print mode.

The DL600 is designed to offer space saving with operations possible both at the front and one side of the printer. The width of the paper roll is less than six inches and extends to 591 feet in length, and the ink cartridge capacity has been increased to 700 ml per cartridge, further reducing the need to change consumables. In addition, setting different types of paper and checking the condition of the printer have been simplified with the addition of an operation panel on the printer’s front. The unit is also able to handle paper sizes of 12 inches.

Other key features of the Frontier DL600 include: print sizes from 3.5×5 inches to a maximum of 12×48 inches; a processing capability of 650 sheets per hour (4×6 at 720 dpi); an automatic nozzle check function; a double roll paper-loading facility; a sorter capacity for up to 10 8×12-inch orders; use of five-colored inks in C/M/Y/LB/K (each color: 700 ml per cartridge); and exclusive inkjet paper in both glossy and luster (4-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch widths with 180 meter lengths; 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch widths with 100 meter lengths). fujifilmusa.com
