The Frontier Dry Minilab 400 employs a four cartridge dye ink system that generates up to 650 4”x6” prints per hour, and up to 250 8”x10” prints per hour. In addition, the Frontier Dry Minilab 400 is scalable by allowing multiple printers to be stacked for increased output without increasing the footprint.
