About the DS40 L-Spacer Requirement
The DNP DS40 requires a pair of plastic L-Spacer guides to correctly handle 5×7 media. These spacers help guide the paper roll so the printer can feed and align the wider media properly.
- Without the L-Spacers, 5×7 media may not feed correctly
- The spacers are reusable for future 5×7 print jobs
- Remove the spacers when switching back to other DS40 media sizes
- Call 305-653-0037 if you need the spacer accessory added to your order
Two Print Sizes from One Roll
This DS40 paper and ribbon set supports standard 5×7 output and smaller 3.5×5 prints in 2-up mode. Size selection is handled in the printer driver or compatible photo booth software.
- 5×7 prints — portrait sessions, event keepsakes, retail photo sales, and premium print packages
- Two 3.5×5 prints — smaller souvenir prints, wallet-style keepsakes, and efficient 2-up production
Two Finishes from One Media Roll
The DS40 lets you select Glossy or Matte output in the print driver or compatible photo booth software. No separate roll is required for each finish.
