Long-Lasting Quality Prints
The SELPHY SQUARE QX10 produces trendy square prints with an album storage lifespan of up to 100 years (1). Using the dye-sublimation thermal print technology, the printed images will resemble a traditional photograph print with smooth tonal graduation and vibrant colours.
The printing process finishes with a coat of special film that has a dual purpose – giving the photo a glossy finish and protecting it from water and dirt, making it smudge-free and fade-resistant. Users can be assured that the vivid memories will not fade over the years.
