There are two commercial ways of printing high-quality photographs directly from your digital cameras. You can spray tiny drops of coloured ink at the paper, as inkjets do, or you can heat tiny dots of wax until they transfer from a coated sheet, as dye sublimation does. The PrintEasy 110 is Sagem’s take on dye sublimation and claims to offer high print quality at low cost.

TrustedReviews has a nice review on this printer and here are their conclusions. Although small, the PrintEasy 110 is a chunky little unit, coloured in cream and chalky blue, with a round, green button on top, three sockets on the side and a flap which folds down from the front to take the paper cartridge. This cartridge can be filled with up to 25 sheets of glossy photo paper, designed as postcards with small perforated strips at either end, which can be torn off once the print is complete.

A release lever on the right-hand side enables you to hinge the top cover up and reveal the two dye film rolls, typical of this type of dye sublimation printer. We’ve previously looked at similar machines from Canon and Samsung, but at £70, the PrintEasy is substantially cheaper than either. The Samsung machine is close to £200.

The conclusion is that Sagem’s EasyPrint 110 is truly idiot-proof to use, and it would be hard to think that anyone could produce poor prints from the printer, unless they were a lousy photographer. It’s not often we award a printer 10/10, but when you look at the print quality of this little machine and couple it with the low print cost and low asking price, there’s no avoiding that conclusion.
