Product Description
The Olympus P-400 dye-sublimation printer is a veritable multi-talent. 90 seconds is all it takes to complete an A4 format 314 dpi print. As the P-400 not only accepts SmartMedia but also all compatible Type II PC cards (such as CompactFlash and Memory Stick), printing is even possible without a PC.

The Olympus Camedia P-400 uses advanced dye-sublimation technology to print an extremely sharp image on high-quality photo paper. The result looks and feels like a traditional photograph.

Olympus should take the time to print out these comments and make it a resolution to have engineering, the tech manual writers and customer service become familiar with the problems associated with their product.

I have asked Olympus tech support to tell me why this printer will not print the number of copies I send though to the printer. After six weeks, three calls with hour long waits and voice mail messages, I have had no response. Very disappointing. Time to move to Epson.

Avoid this printer for the following reasons.
1) It’s paper size doesn’t fit regular frames 8×10 or 4×6.
2) It takes ribbons that are sometimes difficult to load.
3) Print quality is about the same as a the latest ink jets.
4) Doesn’t have slots for Compact Flash or Secure Digital cards only Smart Media which almost nobody still uses.
5)Consumables are at least twice the cost of ink-jets.

Unfortunately, this machine does not work yet. Rather than hassle the return centers and all that, I am electing to take it to Olympus, down the street from me, and pay to have it fixed. Hopefully I can then update this review.
Olympus claims the printer works, but it will not for me. I have a Mac, so probably that is the problem. It is gathering dust as we speak, and I will eventually put it in the dumpster.

A consumer level printer only. Each page has micro-lesions running the length of the print. This appears to be caused by the feeded rolls cutting the top layer of the photo. Olympus engineers did not know of this problem till I pointed it out, and acknowledged it was a problem they could do nothing aboout. Most highly noticable when you turn your brint towards a light source at an angle. Second problem is it will not print the number of copies you ask when controlled from a pc rater than ditrect media input. Don’t bother asking ‘professor Otto’ from their web-site as they don’t reply to customer requests. They don’t answer their phones either. This is an inferior product.
