Hello friends, it’s Frederic again bringing news about the Mitsubishi Express Lab MT1U, a fantastic solution that can help your business enter the highly profitable Photo Lab market. This system offers a wide variety of options and you’ll be surprised to know how easy it is to install and operate.
To begin with, the MT1U is very compact and won’t take much real estate from you so you can have it installed in your business and also take it to different events due to its portability.
It really took us few minutes to setup the MT1U at the office. It consists of two modules: the Console with a 10" touch screen display and the Dye Sublimation Printer, a Mitsubishi CP-9550DW-U. Installing is really amazing because everything is Plug-and-Play, once we connected the power cords and the data cable between the console and the printer the rest was just a matter of loading the paper and the ribbon. I had my camera with me so I plugged its SD card to the MT1U Console and uploaded a couple of images. In less than 5 minutes I could print a new calendar for my desk with a great picture of my kids in it!
The touch screen shows all the options in a very friendly graphic interface and here’s where you realize how versatile the MT1U is. You can choose from Compositions, Photo IDs, Calendars, Collages, Frames and Greetings, Mosaic Posters and more. You can even change the language of the whole display with one touch! This is of great value when your customers are visitors from other countries.
The MT1U offers several tools for image enhancement too, just to mention a few: One-touch image adjustment to correct brightness and contrast, Red-Eye removal, Crop, Zoom, Rotation, Sepia and B/W. The Photo ID engine is very powerful and allows you to compose an ID photo from an existing image. Thanks to the different layouts available for each country and Biometric Masks to position the picture correctly, you’ll be able to create professional Photo IDs in minutes.
The MT1U accepts most of the digital media formats in use today: Compact flash type I, II and DMA, MicroDrive, SD (incl. miniSD, microSD and HC types),
MMC (incl. RS-MMC), MemoryStick (incl. PRO, Pro Duo and MS Micro), xD card (type m and h), CD/DVD and USB flash drive. The CD/DVD drive is actually a burner so writing backup disks from memory cards is another interesting option available.
The printer on this lab is a CP9550DW-U based on Dye Sublimation Thermal Transfer with a resolution of 346dpi and includes two modes – Fine and Super Fine.
It can print a 4x6" in as little as 15 seconds! Due to the fact that it employs media rolls, paper jams are things of the past. It can print different sizes depending on the media installed 4x6"s on the
CK954R rolls, 5x7" on
CK955R, 6x8" and 6x9" on
CK956R.
The system includes tools to help you control its operation. Price Management allows you to have 3 different price ranges. There’s also an optional Ticket Printer that lets you charge exactly what was printed, Statistics and more.
