A new mid-volume photo printing solution using thermal dye sublimation with multiple printheads will be discussed. Performance and features will be reviewed, and comparisons will be made to other printing solutions. Several new design challenges presented by the multihead architecture will be reviewed, as will the solutions provided through integration of hardware, media, and software.
