I took my printer with me to Haiti and took photos of hundreds of children with my trusty, shoot from the back of a motorcycle, Sony PSC P7. Then I printed them and gave them to the children. The first printed photo of themselves, ever. The initial photos were of children lookng a bit suspicious but then there was a near riot as we gave the completed photos back to the children Smiling faces, huge grins, something precious an image of themselves. Yes, I got a few shots of those faces and one that is especially dear to me is of a boy holding his photo and beaming. We take photo prints for granted and forget what an amazing thing it is to be able to capture a moment in time. I love my printer, it is easy to use, the supplies are lower in price now, about .25cents a print. I thought I was a little crazy to buy this and carry it in with me but it was one of the best things I ever did.
The finish on the dye sublimation is a zillion times better than on the ink type prints of other manufacturers. I tested by moistening, okay, spitting on my finger a little at the store and trying to smear the prints. Sony's did not smear at all. To me this is a key buying point.
Yes it took forever to print all of those pictures, hundreds, but it so easy that I got others to help, loaded in 10 at a time and did other things as they printed.
Do a search on the group I work for and you will see some of the photos I took. Especially the boy with the red bucket. I return in February and plan to give this same gift again in another small community.
My real work is at Clean Water For Haiti, this extra project is a gift to me.
Thanks Amazon and Sony.
