DNP Announces Hot Folder Print Utility Software and PrinterInfo Application Updates

CONCORD, North Carolina – DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation (DNP IAM) today announced the availability of two new technical software updates: the Hot Folder Print Utility v2.3 and the PrinterInfo 1.2.1.1.

DNP’s Hot Folder Print Utility is a free, easy-to-use utility that enables printing on DNP’s dye-sublimation printers. Improvements in version 2.3 include more flexible color profile assignment, increased reliability when using multiple printers and improved handling of low media situations when printing panoramic photos.

“We are always striving to improve the functionality of our software platforms to complement our award-winning dye-sublimation printer technology,” said Katsuyuki Oshima, President of DNP IAM. “With the introduction of our updated utility applications, our photo printers are now easier to operate and provide greater value for a wide range of photography solutions, from on-site event workflows and photo booths to ride photo systems for amusement parks.”

In addition to launching the HFP Utility update, DNP also released an update for the PrinterInfo status and reporting application. The PrinterInfo application is a standalone status tool that is used to pull and report data from DNP printing systems. The PrinterInfo application provides detailed status information including the size of media loaded in each printer, the amount of media remaining in each printer and the printer life counter.

The Hot Folder Print Utility v2.3 and PrinterInfo 1.2.1.1 are free downloadable updates available on the DNP website: http://dnpphoto.com/en-us/Support/Downloads/Drivers-Tools
