I found that Casio has a QG-100 printer that prints images from their
digital camera. It is a dye sub printer and costs $199.00. Problem is
the prints are only 1 3/4 X 1 1/2 inches.
However in May they are introducing the following.
The DP-8000, Print anytime, anywhere
Connect your Casio QV Digital Camera to your DP-8000 Color Printer and
use as a complete photo processing center. The printer produces a 3.23
x 4.29 high resolution image when connected to any of Casios line of
QV Digital Cameras. With a 149 x 149 dpi
The DP-8000 offers a simple processing system with a choice of two
modes: Easy Mode and Menu Mode
Easy Mode- prints the photo from the camer as is. You can print one 4
x 6 photo, a froup of four photos ot a group of nine photos.
In the Menu Mode without connecting to a PC the DP-8000 provides
digital processing, with the capability of adjusting image size. You can
use one of 416 preset layout designs. You can also combine photos and
text.

Don't know the printer cost yet, or the cost of the paper (remember
razors and razorblades..). This isn't good enough for a catalog (I don't
think) but may be pretty good for snapshots.
Dennis S, is Kodak in this game at all?
