DNP QW410 Media Guide – Standard 4x6 vs Perforated 4x6 Media for the QW410 Printer

Standard vs. perforated DNP QW410 media

The paper format is the deciding factor. The standard kit keeps the sheet intact; the perforated kit adds a factory-made center perforation. Paper and ribbon are matched consumables, and both options are made exclusively for the DNP QW410.

Choose the QW410 media that fits your workflow

Standard DNP QW410 4×6 media

Use the standard kit when the customer should receive one complete 4×6 photo. It is the more versatile choice for general event printing and layouts that do not need a tear line.

• Traditional, non-perforated 4×6 output
• 300 prints per case
• Suitable for portraits, events, retail, and passport-photo layouts

DNP QW410PD2S perforated 4×6 media

Use the PD-2S kit for classic photo booth strips. The center perforation lets a finished 4×6 sheet separate into two 2×6 strips without a paper cutter.

• 300 perforated 4×6 prints per case
• Up to 600 separate 2×6 strips
• Ideal for guest-and-host copies, scrapbooks, and branded takeaways

What comes in a QW410 media kit?

Each 4×6 case contains two rolls of photo paper and two matching dye-sublimation ribbons. A roll produces 150 finished 4×6 prints, for 300 prints per case. The ribbon and paper are engineered to be consumed together, so replace them as a matched set.

With the perforated kit, the count remains 300 printed 4×6 sheets. Because each sheet separates into two pieces, the practical yield is up to 600 individual 2×6 photo booth strips.

How the QW410 fits an event-printing setup

The QW410 is DNP's smallest and lightest dye-sublimation photo printer. DNP lists a footprint of approximately 8 inches wide × 7.75 inches high × 9.5 inches deep, a weight under 13 pounds, and representative 4×6 output of about 19 seconds. That combination favors portable booths, roaming stations, tight enclosures, and lower-volume applications where size and transport matter more than high-capacity media.

Buying and handling tips

• Confirm the exact printer model: the front label should identify the printer as a DNP QW410.
• Choose the output before the event: standard media cannot be converted into factory-perforated media after printing.
• Keep paper and ribbon paired: change both components from the same media set together.
• Protect unopened media: store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sun, excess heat, and humidity.
• Plan spare capacity: calculate media from expected print sessions, not just guest count, and bring a reasonable backup for paid events.
