Panasonic KX-PX10MWKIT Photo Printer

Introducing a new, easy-to-use home photo printer, the Panasonic KX-PX10: Superb for printing images captured by your Lumix®1 digital camera in clear and beautiful detail. This new compact-sized, easy-to-use home photo printer is equipped with Panasonic original image processing technology and a faster print engine2 for high speed, high quality prints. Now, images captured by LUMIX and other digital cameras can be processed and reproduced to achieve vibrant prints of a quality that rivals that of traditional printed photos in about one minute. Furthermore, thanks to a new over-coating process, your prints can now keep their quality for up to 100 years3 And with the capability to print 16:9 images, Panasonic as created a complete 16:9 widescreen solution, with digital cameras to capture in 16:9, Plasma televisions to view in 16:9, and now with a printer to output 16:9 widescreen prints.

Panasonic Original Image Processing Technology
The Panasonic original image processing technology, utilized in the KX-PX10, reads all the data (including Exif data) embedded in the digital images and can therefore achieve true and natural reproduction in print. All the characteristic elements of the image, such as the following, are perfectly transmitted to your prints:

Backlight Compensation - where dark parts of the image, due to the effects of back lighting, have been compensated for.
Color Correction - where natural colors are enhanced, for example the blue of the sky or the green of a forest.
Noise Reduction - where image noise in high sensitivity mode has been reduced.

Enhance your Lumix® Experience
The superb partner for your Lumix® digital camera is the Panasonic PX-PX10 home printer. Unlike other home printers, is able to read image data from recording modes that are unique to Lumix® digital cameras, such as "skin" mode, "night scene" mode and "high sensitivity" mode, using these to further enhance the print.

16:9 Wide Aspect Printing
In addition to the standard post-card size, the KX-PX10 can print 16:9 wide aspect images. This enables users to print images captured by the unique LUMIX 16:9 wide aspect mode in their original format with no need for trimming. Furthermore, with the KX-PX10, users can enjoy these images on their 16:9 wide-screen TV in full screen mode.

TV Connectivity with Dual Action for Simultaneous Printing
Not only can you view images on TV by connecting it to the printer with the AV cable, thanks to the dual CPU inside the KX-PX10, you can also print out your images at the same time. Now you can enjoy a full Slideshow of your images on your TV while the printer is printing them out. This function is unique5 to Panasonic home printers and we have named it Dual Action5.

Small and Light
By mounting an improved cooling unit on the side of the print engine, we have been able to dramatically reduce the height, volume and weight of this printer. The KX-PX10 is a very small and light dye-sublimation photo printer equipped with PictBridge6. It is approximately 2.2" high and weighs approximately 2.1 lbs--extremely small and light for you to take wherever you want.

High-Speed Printing
The demand for faster print speeds from home printers continues to increase. By developing a new type of thermal print head, Panasonic has been able to improve thermal transfer performance of the print engine which has, in turn, reduced the printing time to approximately 65 seconds for a postcard size print.

Versatile Printing - SD Memory Card, PictBridge and PC Printing
Panasonic home photo printers offer printing versatility. Using the SD card slot on the unit, users can print out their images easily and quickly by selecting them from the SD card on the TV screen. It is also possible to connect the printer directly to any PictBridge-enabled digital camera via a USB cable, or simply use the same USB cable to connect the printer to a PC for easy printing.

Good for 100 Years
The combination of dye-sublimation technology and an over-coating process means that the prints produced by the KX-PX10 are resistant to light, water, UV rays and skin contact. As a result, prints from the Panasonic home printer will stay in good condition for up to 100 years.

On-Screen Guidance
When the KX-PX10 is connected to a TV, an easy-to-follow set of instructions appears on each page to guide you through the available options. This is especially helpful for those who have had little experience using home photo printers.

More Fun with your Lumix® Digital Camera
In addition to its image printing capabilities, the KX-PX10 also has some fun features too, such as calendar creation and character stamping.
