The FinePix Printer NX-500 utilizes Fujifilm's refined Thermo-Autochrome printing technology, an environmentally friendly single sheet process that requires no inks, toners or ribbons and is similar to the technology used in conventional photography where the dyes are formed in the paper. To ensure accurate and rich color tones, the FinePix Printer NX-500's improved Compensation System automatically optimizes the data for each picture, while the High-Chroma Processing System uses direct mapping to convert all of a digital camera's RGB data to CMY data. The FinePix Printer NX-500 has a footprint similar in size to a laptop computer (10.6' W x 3.1' H x 11.4' D). For prints, images captured by digital cameras and saved on removable SmartMedia™ storage cards can be transferred directly to the FinePix Printer NX-500 through its SmartMedia card drop-in slot, thus eliminating the need for a computer. However, images stored on a computer can be printed using the FinePix Printer NX-500's USB port, thereby avoiding other printers or peripherals. • 4x6-inch prints at 306 dpi • Option to print on 2-, 4- or 16- cut sheets • Vivid, eye-pleasing prints • Thermo-Autochrome printing technology - Environmentally friendly • Portable and versatile desktop digital printing device
