Useful 6×8 Media Workflows
DNP DS620A Perforated & Sticker Media
DNP offers several distinct perforation patterns. They are not interchangeable, so choose based on the physical pieces you want the finished sheet to separate into.
DS6204x62S — 4×6 Center Perf
The perforation runs through the middle of the 4×6 sheet, allowing one print to separate into two approximately 4×3 photographs.
This format is useful for dual keepsakes, school or sports workflows, promotions and tear-away applications.
View 4×6 Center PerfDS6204x6R2 — 4×6 2" Single Perf
The single perforation creates a square photographic area plus a smaller tear-off section that can be designed as a card, coupon or promotional piece.
View 4×6 Single PerfDS6206x8TS — 6×8 Triple Strip
This specialty 6×8 format is physically perforated into three long strips and is useful for event promotions, branded layouts and tear-away photo products.

View Sticker MediaThe DS6204x62S center-perforated 4×6 product creates two 4×3 sections. For ordinary 2×6 photo booth strips, use the DS620A's supported 2-inch cutter workflow with compatible standard media and software.
Metallic & Silver Pearl Luxury Media
DNP's Luxury Media gives DS620A owners a way to offer a visibly different premium print product without adding another printer.
DNP currently offers both Metallic and Silver Pearl media for the DS620A in multiple print sizes.
Useful for vivid images, action photography, dramatic colors, branded events and specialty photographic products.
Useful for portraits, weddings, premium event products and photographs where the surface itself adds visual interest.
How to Print 2×6 Strips on the DS620A
The easiest way to make traditional 2×6 photo booth strips is not to use center-perforated paper. The DS620A supports a 2-inch cutter workflow.
Load Compatible Media
Standard 4×6 media is a common choice for conventional two-strip photo booth output.
Build the 2×6 Layout
Configure the strip design in your compatible photo booth or printing software.
Enable 2-Inch Cutting
Use the appropriate DNP printer-driver and software settings so the DS620A cuts the printed sheet into strips.
Use Current Driver Guidance
DNP maintains current support documents for enabling 2-inch cuts on both Windows and Mac. Software menus can change, so current DNP guidance is preferable to an old step-by-step screenshot.
Print 6×14 & 6×20 Panoramas with Standard 6×8 Media
One of the DS620A's most useful specialty capabilities is panoramic output — without requiring a dedicated panoramic paper roll.
DNP specifies standard DS620A 6×8 media for both 6×14 and 6×20 panoramic output.
Standard 6×8 DS620 media is loaded in the printer.
DS620A firmware v1.52 or later is required.
Use a supported workflow such as DNP Hot Folder Print v2.2+ or WCM Plus.
During printing the paper exits and rewinds as the panorama is produced in sections.
DNP specifies that standard and enlargement print trays should not be used during panoramic printing.
DS620A Media Handling Best Practices
Store Media Properly
Keep unopened media in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Keep Paper & Ribbon Matched
Treat each paper-and-ribbon set as a matched consumable system rather than mixing partially used components from unrelated kits.
Avoid Dust & Fingerprints
Keep exposed paper and ribbon clean and handle paper carefully when loading or servicing the printer.
Test After a Media Change
Confirm print size, orientation, cutter behavior and finish before beginning production at an event.
Carry Backup Media
Bring more consumables than your exact calculated event requirement so unexpected reprints do not stop production.
Follow DNP Maintenance Guidance
Use manufacturer cleaning and troubleshooting instructions rather than improvised procedures that could damage the printer.
Having a DS620A Printing Problem?
A media-related symptom does not automatically mean the media itself is defective. The printer, cutter, media path, driver, color profile and installation can all affect output.
DNP maintains model-specific instructions for several common DS-series issues, including white lines, torn ribbons, cutter jams, paper-path problems, color management and 2-inch cutting.
