FREE MATTE FINISH

Upgrade for CP-D70DW & CP-D707DW compact printers!!!

Mitsubishi expanded the versatility of the CP-D70 series event photo printers with the addition of Super Fine Print mode and Super Fine Matte finish. Super Fine Print produces stunning studio quality photo prints by increasing the optical density of the photograph, adding contrast and visual depth. The new, highly requested, Super Fine Matte mimics the traditional finish of matte photo paper for studio quality prints anywhere, anytime using the standard media.

Existing Technology

• Mitsubishi’s newly developed image processing methods analyze the image file to optimize the photo print.

New Technology

• Super Fine Print mode slows the line rate of the print head, strategically applying more dye when needed to increase contrast and visual depth. Thereby delivering studio quality photo prints with sharper edges, crisper text, and less chance of smearing.

• Super Fine Matte mimics the look and feel of traditional matte photo paper by forming a random matte texture on the photo print with the clear overcoat sheet of the print ribbon.

Benefits

• Optical density increased for deeper blacks

• Adds depth and detail to photo prints

• Sharper edges and crisper text

• Reduces smearing and draglines

• Uses standard media – no new media to buy

Mitsubishi Reliability and Durability

For traditional dye-sub photo printers, applying a matte finish can increase wear on the print head, however; Mitsubishi print heads are shielded from this wear by an applied protective film that enhances print head durability. And, genuine Mitsubishi media is equipped with a back-layer dye sheet that also protects against print head wear.

The Super Fine Print mode and Super Fine Matte finish features have been combined with the 2×6” Multi-cut upgrade and are available by download from the Mitsubishi Imaging Products Division website:

We introduced the revolutionary external camera monitor from Marshall Electronics, the leader in video imaging components. This opened exciting in-roads to the world of still image capture with our affordable monitor kit, complete with multiple power options, table stand, sun shield and a variety of cables for operation. The optional carrying case helps you transport the monitor safely from location to location. Response to the new monitor has been exceptional from professionals with years of image capture experience via tiny view finders and small camera monitors. This new component naturally expedites image capture, as well as real-time viewing of captured images.

  Passionate photographers will go to any length to capture their vision. Cj Wilson remembers climbing the creaking stairs to an old church attic to capture a unique image of the bride and groom in front of a high stained glass window. The idea could have been devastating as the rickety old folding chair on which she was standing collapsed, injuring her ankle. “I photographed the entire wedding in pain because the show must go on!” Cj recalls. “If only I had the Bird’s Eye View Kit.”

  imageTech owner, Doug Schirripa says we are just scratching the surface of what the external monitor will mean to sports and event photographers, as well as other categories such as journalism, nature, forensics, etc. For minimal investment, customers are emerging with unique image capture options. For some, it’s a major edge over the competition, both in speed and variety of image capture as well as added creativity in portrait photography. “Things are looking up for more profits,” says witty Schirripa.

  Cameras with live view that can be used for this technique include: Canon 5D, 5D Mark II, T1i, T2i, 7D and Nikon D3, D3x, D3s, D700, D300 and D300s, D90.

  Order your “Bird’s Eye View” kit today! Call 714.639.5411 or 402.630.4560 to talk with one of imageTech’s professional consultants to discuss specific applications.

It’s a proven source of added revenue in today’s markets - school IDs, corporate badges, gift cards, membership IDs, loyalty cards and more!

The sync (short for synchronize) has an incredibly thin wire running through it, and the PC (Prontor Compur) tip that connects to the camera or radio slave is a weak design (but the industry standard).  The PC end has a pin and collar around it that connects the circuit and fires the flash.  The pin and the collar can be become damaged and cause the flash not to fire. 

To find out the sync cord is broken, take a metal object (I usually use a key) and touch the pin and the collar with it at the same time.  On a working sync cord, it will fire the flash (no! it will NOT shock you).  Several companies make a PC tip conditioner that will straighten and repair the pin and collar that make up a the PC tip.  One type of end that plugs into the flash is known as household and looks likes a two pronged electric plug.  Yes, I have known people who have fried 4×5 shutters plugging them into AC.  The newer standard has become the mono plug.  They look like guitar or ear phone jack.  Whichever you need, buy a couple and keep them handy.  Happy shooting.
