Buy a DNP DS820 Printer
The DNP DS820 printer is the large-format model of the range: the only DNP that prints up to 20×30 cm (8×12") and A4. If your business is not about 10×15 keepsakes but about big prints, event posters, studio portraits, trade fairs or gallery work, this is the machine. Same dye-sublimation technology as the rest of the range, same kind of media (paper + ribbon kit), but at a print size no other DNP reaches. Direct from the manufacturer at 1.700 €.
Why the DNP DS820 and Not a DS620
The difference lies in print size. The DNP DS620 and the DS-RX1HS top out at 15×20 or 15×23 cm and are built for the rhythm of a photo booth: lots of small prints, very fast. The DS820 plays a different game: it reaches 20×30 cm and A4, with intermediate sizes of 10×20, 13×20 and 15×20 cm. It is slower per print because each print is far bigger, and that is exactly what it is asked to do.
It does not compete with the other two, it complements them. If you do events with instant printing, your machine is the RX1HS or the DS620. If you do portraiture, studio, trade fairs, decor or large-print sales, yours is the DS820.

Who the DS820 Is For
It is not a photo booth printer, and it is worth saying plainly so nobody buys the wrong machine. The DS820 makes sense if you sell or deliver large prints: portrait studios, labs and photo shops, trade fairs and sports events where the print of the day is sold, school photography, brand activations with large-format printing and any service that charges by print size. At 14 kg and 322 × 366 × 170 mm it is a desktop machine, meant to stay installed, not to travel every weekend.
If what you need is 10×15 volume at events, save your money and read the guide on which DNP printer to buy.
Media: the Paper Is Always a Repeat Purchase
Like the rest of the range, the DS820 uses paper + ribbon kits that yield a fixed number of prints, so the spend is predictable and what decides your margin is the cost per print. Its media comes in 20×30 cm in SD and PP finishes, and also A4. You buy the printer once, but you reorder media job after job: get in touch with your volume and we will send you kit pricing and repeat-order terms. Everything about how DNP media works is in the DNP paper guide.
