THE DEMAND FOR compact, high-capacity, high image quality printers has grown in recent times. Leading printer manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric has responded to that with the CP-M1E. Mitsubishi Electric has been in this market since 1994 and is acknowledged as a leader and expert in dye- sublimation printing technology. Aimed at photographers selling on-the-spot prints at events, dinner functions, parties and weddings, the CP-M1E offers a compelling mix of great features, making it the perfect solution for such occasions. The Mitsubishi Electric CP-M1E is a very portable printer, weighing in at just 14kg and its 0.105 sq m footprint means it doesn't take up much workspace and it’s easily transportable.

375 15x20cm (6x8in) prints. The printer has seven size options, ranging from 5x15cm (2x6in) to 15x20cm (6x8in). Printing speed is impressive, too, with a 10x15cm taking just 12 seconds and, thanks to Mitsubishi Electric’s anti-curling technology, prints emerge flat.
