the name of an event or the date of the

Multiple layouts
The SnapLab offers 30 built-in templates
that enable users to create anything from
ID cards to novelty products and add value
to each print.
Border composition*
The SnapLab provides value-added prints
by using borders to overlay preloaded logos,
event names, or a custom-designed frame
to your photo. The additional border designs
can be created using a Microsoft
®

additional flexibility and greater
satisfaction for user and owner alike.

preloading data. Owners can display various
images such as a company logo or a special
promotion when the printer is not in
operation.

CompactFlash card and insert it into the expansion

Image data spooling*

users to remove memory cards and shoot
more photos while the job is printing.
*Need to insert a MicroDrive or CompactFlash card
and insert it into the expansion slot.
Order management
A print log can be viewed on the LCD and
exported to a MicroDrive or CompactFlash
card in “CSV” format. This exported data
can be used as a Microsoft Excel file on a
PC. In addition, the order number can be
printed, using Sony original pattern
lamination technology. The numbers are
barely seen from the front, but they become
visible when you tilt the print. With this order
number, owners can sort prints for smooth
distribution.
PC connectivity
The SnapLab is supplied with Windows
®
printer drivers to enhance its flexibility.
This allows the user to use powerful editing
functions on a PC that are not available
on the printer.
Security cable compatibility
The SnapLab is equipped with a security
slot for protection against theft.
Main Features
The SnapLab has been designed to
be quickly operational and as simple
to maintain as possible, without
making compromises on printing
quality.
Quick start-up
The SnapLab can be used without a PC.
Once switched on, the SnapLab is
operational within 15 seconds and is ready
to print your photos.
Various media inputs
The SnapLab accepts today’s most popular
digital media.
Easy to use
The operation of the SnapLab is very simple.
No PC is required. With a large 8-inch
touch-sensitive colour LCD and a user-
friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface),
it is easy and comfortable to operate.
High speed and high quality
A newly-developed thermal print mechanism
enables the SnapLab to operate at high
speeds, regardless of print size. Printing
a 9 x 13 cm (3.5 x 5 inches) photo takes
approximately 13 seconds*, while a
10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches) photo can be
printed in approximately 17 seconds*,
and a 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inches) photo in
approximately 18 seconds*. In addition
to this high speed, the SnapLab provides
photolab-quality prints, utilising Sony dye
sublimation technology. It outputs crisp,
vibrant colours with natural, continuous
tones on UV-protected archival-quality paper.
*Excluding image-processing time.
Compact
The compact body of the SnapLab enables
it to fit almost anywhere and its LCD panel
can be angled to accommodate a variety of
viewing positions.
