A press release from Hi-Touch Imaging Technologies announces that its Transphotable dye-sublimation printer is now in the USA.
The Transphotable is a portable 4" x 6" dye-sub, and can be plugged into a car cigarette lighter with the included DC car power converter. No computer is needed, as the printer has a 1.6-inch color LCD display, and slots to accept CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards natively, or Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard and Secure Digital media with an adapter. A computer can be connected via a USB connection and used with HiTi's PhotoD�sir�e imaging software - or your own image editor - if you prefer.
