Description
DNP DS-RX1HS Professional Photo Printer
The upgraded successor to the DNP RX1 — 20% faster, 25% more energy-efficient, and built for high-volume event and photo booth printing. The highest 4×6 media yield of any DNP event printer: 700 prints per roll. DNP's 3-Year Advance Exchange Warranty is included.
Is the DNP DS-RX1HS the Right Printer for Your Business?
Yes — if high roll capacity and minimal media changes during long events are your priority. The RX1HS holds 700 prints per 4×6 roll — nearly double the DS620A's 400 — making it the preferred choice for operators who run multi-hour events and need to minimize reloads. It also supports multiple units on a single workstation via USB iSerial, ideal for high-volume multi-printer setups.
Need faster throughput instead? The DNP DS620A prints a 4×6 in 8.3 seconds vs 12.4 seconds on the RX1HS. See the full DS620A vs RX1HS comparison to decide.

Why Professionals Choose the DNP DS-RX1HS
Highest 4×6 Roll Capacity of Any DNP Event Printer
700 prints per 4×6 roll — nearly double the DS620A's 400 and the highest yield of any DNP professional event printer. Fewer reloads during long events means less downtime and more prints delivered per shift.
20% Faster Than the Original RX1
The RX1HS prints a 4×6 in approximately 12.4 seconds — up to 290 per hour — versus roughly 15 seconds on the original RX1. A direct drop-in upgrade for operators running legacy RX1 units.
USB iSerial — Multi-Printer Workstation Support
Connect multiple RX1HS printers to a single computer simultaneously via USB iSerial. Essential for high-volume event setups, festival multi-booth configurations, and production stations running two or more printers in parallel.
25% More Energy-Efficient
Uses up to 25% less power in peak, idle, and running modes compared to the original RX1. For all-day event printing, lower power consumption reduces operating costs and heat output at the print station.
Real-Time Monitoring via DNP Windows Status App
Monitor media remaining, print counters, firmware versions, and basic diagnostics in real time. Critical for busy event environments and retail counters where catching a low-media warning before a queue builds is important.
Professional Dye-Sub Output Quality
300×300 / 300×600 dpi continuous-tone output with smooth gradients, accurate skin tones, rich colors, and a protective overcoat that resists fading, fingerprints, water, and dust. Instant-dry, smudge-free prints built to last.
DNP DS-RX1HS Technical Specifications
2×6 strips are cut two-per-sheet from 4×6 media (four-per-sheet from 6×8). 5×7 and 6×6 are produced on 6×8 media (5×7 with a 1/2″ white border). Throughput varies with image data, mode, and environment.

Who Is the DNP DS-RX1HS Best For?
Photo Booth Operators — Long Events
Excellent fit
700 prints per roll means you can run a 4–6 hour event without a single media change. For operators who need to minimize mid-event interruptions, the RX1HS is the better choice over the DS620A.
Multi-Printer Production Setups
Excellent fit
USB iSerial allows multiple RX1HS units on one workstation. Festival operators, event companies with high-volume booths, and production stations running two or more printers in parallel.
Event Photographers
Excellent fit
On-site printing at weddings, parties, and corporate events. Reliable, rugged, and road-ready at 30 lbs — built for constant transport and professional use.
Cruise Ships & Attractions
Excellent fit
High-throughput environments where continuous multi-shift operation and minimal media interventions are critical. The RX1HS has a proven track record in attraction and cruise ship photography operations.
Schools & Universities
Good fit
School dances, proms, graduations, and sports events. The high roll capacity is useful for events where media access during the event is inconvenient.
Operators Upgrading from RX1
Direct upgrade
Same media, same print sizes, same workflow — but 20% faster, 25% more efficient, and with USB iSerial multi-printer support. A direct drop-in replacement for any existing RX1 setup.

3-Year Advance Exchange Warranty — What It Means
