THE SPECIFICATIONS, EXPLAINED
A closer look at the printer behind your next photo experience
A great event print is more than an image on paper. It is something a guest takes home, shares and keeps. But behind that moment are practical questions: How quickly can the printer work? How often will you change media? Will it fit your booth?
This guide puts the DNP DP-RX2 photo printer specifications into that everyday context, with a complete technical table and a straightforward guide to the printer and its media.

DP-RX2 features—and why they matter
Speed and capacity: think about the whole event
DNP lists up to 290 standard 4 × 6 prints per hour under the conditions above, with up to 700 standard 4 × 6 prints per roll. Its space-saving cabinet also matters when planning equipment placement.
Our planning perspective: estimate the number of finished prints your event will need, including extra copies. Printer output is only one part of the queue; capture time, guest selection, image processing and media changes affect the complete experience.
Sticker printing: give the photo another place to live
The DP-RX2 supports adhesive photo media as well as conventional photo paper. DNP describes applying sticker photos to everyday items such as smartphones and notebooks.
An idea for your packages: offer guests a choice between a traditional keepsake and an adhesive photo. For a branded activation, consider how the photo design will look both when handed out and after it is applied.
Media status: know what is left before the rush
Operators can check the media size and remaining print count in real time. This helps them decide when to replace media and can reduce interruptions during busy periods.
Our planning perspective: make checking the remaining count part of your pre-event routine. Keep replacement supplies accessible, particularly when guests are likely to arrive in groups.

DNP DP-RX2 photo printer
Review the printer itself, its announced capabilities and our current availability information. This is the main product page to revisit when you are ready to evaluate pricing and ordering.
4 × 6 standard photo media
The conventional photo-paper option for familiar event prints and take-home keepsakes. Open the listing for the paper-and-ribbon kit details and stated package quantity.
4 × 6 sticker media
For adhesive photo keepsakes that guests can display on personal items. Review this dedicated media listing when planning sticker-printing packages.
4 × 6 Perforated 2S media
A perforated option to consider when your print layout calls for separable sections. Check the product details before designing artwork around the perforation format.
5 × 7 photo media
A larger format to consider for portrait presentations and event packages. Review the listing for this specific size instead of assuming every print format uses the same media.
6 × 8 photo media
For a larger photographic presentation, including portraits or layouts that need more room. See the dedicated listing for media details and package information.

Three things to confirm before building your setup
1. Space beyond the cabinet. The dimensions above describe the printer. Leave room for cables, ventilation, output collection and servicing; confirm the required clearances in the final manual.
2. Your software and supplies. A USB connection does not by itself establish compatibility with your operating system or booth software. Likewise, do not assume RX1HS media or accessories transfer to the DP-RX2 without DNP confirmation.
3. Availability before an event commitment. A phased global launch does not mean every country receives stock at the same time. Confirm local availability before assigning this printer to a paid booking.
