First impressions for the Sony DPP-EX50
One of the first things I noticed upon opening up and unpacking the box was that Sony does NOT include any ink (ribbon) or paper for this printer in the box. Not even one sheet. So to avoid disappointment about not being able to immediately start using the printer make sure you buy one of the ink/paper packages too.
The included software is "so-so". Sony's included photo application is rough and I fell into fatal errors with it quite easily. Their photo application works directly with the printer bypassing Window's printer drivers which brings me to my next software comment.
It also includes a printer driver for Windows that allows other applications presumably for photos to print using the DPP-EX50. However while it worked it had a little annoying problem where the image was slightly off centered. This results in "borderless" prints actually getting a thin white border on the bottom and right sides. I found no way around this bug including trying to manual re-size the image slightly larger and trying to move it slightly down/right.
While the DPP-EX50 prints absolutely wonderful pictures I am patiently waiting for Sony to release some software fixes.More detail ...
