I'm thinking about buying one of the Sony photo printers that use the dye sublimation process and I'm looking for anyone's advice or experiences with them.

 I don't want to go the ink jet route for printing pictures.

 I'm looking at the Sony DPP-FP30 printer actually because I don't care about having a display screen that's built into the printer, I'll do all the photo mods on my computer before I send it to the printer.

I know dye-sublimination ink costs shitloads more.

Sony makes a decent TV  ... that's about it.

Not wanting to go the inkjet route is really cutting out a lot of excellent options for you, inkjets have come a long way and Epson and Canon both have exceptional inkjet photo printers ... I know many professional photographers that use prints from inkjet as their finished product.

An inkjet photo print is as good as the paper you feed it, if you put cheap paper through it, expect cheap results ... but if you want good quality prints, either the maufacturers Photo Quality paper (NOT the Staples store brand) or a third party paper made for quality prints such as Moab Paper.
