20% Faster Than the Original RX1
The DS-RX1HS reduces 4×6" print time to 12.4 seconds, compared with 15 seconds on the original RX1. This supports a throughput of up to 290 4×6" prints per hour and shortens 6×8" print time by around 5 seconds per sheet.
USB iSerial Status Reporting
The built-in USB iSerial connection passes live driver information to your desktop, letting you check remaining media, media format, printer status, the life counter, colour control data, firmware version, and serial number.
High Capacity, Compact Profile
With one of the largest print capacities in its class (700 4×6" prints per roll), the DS-RX1HS keeps a compact footprint. It stands under one foot tall (11"H × 12.6"W) and weighs 14kg, fitting into restricted photo booth spaces.
Lower Power, Recyclable Media
The DS-RX1HS uses 25% less power across running, idle, and peak modes. Media packs use less plastic, include ribbon spools made from recycled materials, and arrive in recyclable packaging.
2×6" Photo Booth Strips
The driver handles internal cutting for 2×6" strips (5×15cm), producing two strips from a single 4×6" sheet. This suits classic strip layouts and passport-style applications.
Glossy and Matte from One Roll
Produce glossy or matte finishes from the same media roll. The finish is selected by software, so there is no need to open the printer or swap components mid-event.

High-Volume Printing Applications
High-Volume Photo Booths
The 700-print capacity suits long wedding receptions and commercial events, letting operators run through peak hours without mid-event reloads.
Unattended Kiosk Systems
Shopping centres, theme parks, and retail locations benefit from extended operating durations handled without staff supervision.
Classic Photo Booth Strips
Automated cutting slices a 4×6" print into two 2×6" strips, keeping operational costs down while offering the traditional strip format.
All-In-One Media Kits
Replacement media packs contain matched paper rolls and dye-sub ribbons in the same box. To run dual printer rigs, load matching media formats in both (e.g. 10×15cm media in both).
School Proms & Events
Concentrated print rushes during sports days and graduation ceremonies are handled without frequent media changes, keeping lines moving.
Multi-Booth Standardisation
Standardising on one model simplifies inventory, streamlines technician troubleshooting, and supports fleet tracking across multiple venues.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What status information does the iSerial feature provide?
The USB iSerial connection lets the printer driver return live status to your device. You can check remaining media, media format, printer status, the life counter, colour control data, firmware version, and serial number at any time.
-
Is the DNP DS-RX1HS the same as the Citizen CY-02 printer?
Yes, the DNP DS-RX1HS and the Citizen CY-02 share the exact same internal structural manufacturing DNA. Citizen produces the physical machinery base for both lines, meaning they offer identical 700-print capacities, 12.4-second output speeds, and exterior dimensions. However, please note that their internal firmwares, system printer drivers, and media print kits are proprietary and not cross-compatible. If you buy the DNP DS-RX1HS, you must use official DNP RX1HS media packs.
-
How does the DS-RX1HS compare to the original RX1 for speed?
The DS-RX1HS is around 20% faster than the original RX1. It produces up to 290 4×6" prints per hour, compared with 249 on the original. A 4×6" print takes 12.4 seconds instead of 15, and 6×8" print time is reduced by around 5 seconds per sheet.
-
How does the DS-RX1HS compare to the DS620 for photo booths?
The DS-RX1HS is suited to high-volume work with its 700-print roll, while the DS620 prioritises speed (8.4 seconds versus 12.4 seconds) using a 400-print roll. For busy venues where continuous run time matters more than single-print speed, the DS-RX1HS is the more cost-efficient choice.
-
Can I print 2×6" photo strips with the DS-RX1HS?
Yes. The DS-RX1HS handles automated 2×6" strip cuts, dividing a 4×6" layout into two strips. Your photo booth software needs to send the correct cutting instructions to the printer driver.
-
How often will I need to change media during a typical event?
Each roll yields 700 4×6" prints, so most multi-hour weddings and corporate events run on a single roll. A busy 4-hour reception might produce 200–400 prints, usually finishing with media to spare.
-
Will the DS-RX1HS fit in my existing photo booth cabinet?
The DS-RX1HS measures 322mm wide × 351mm deep × 218mm high (under one foot tall), which fits most standard photo booth cabinets. Check your internal clearance before purchase, allowing room for media loading and ventilation.
-
Can I switch between glossy and matte finishes during an event?
Yes. The finish is selected by software, applying the protective overcoat as either glossy or matte. There is no need to change the paper roll to switch finish mid-event.
-
Does the printer include media, or is it sold separately?
The DS-RX1HS is supplied without media. Paper and ribbon are bought separately as consumables, with each pack containing the matched paper roll and ribbon for the stated number of prints.
