Panasonic KX-PX20 Compact Photo Printer Review

Navigation


Print Quality Settings (0)
Like other compact printers, print quality remains constant for the Panasonic PX20. In the case of dye sub printers, quality is usually fixed at 300 x 300 dpi. Neither the driver nor the unit’s menu provide options for quality settings.
 
Internal Editing (6.00)
Users can select between Auto mode or adjust density/balance, color levels, or white balance themselves in the Image Adjustment menu. Effects can also be applied to the images, including monochrome effects (see below), Warm, Cool, Soft Portrait, Embossed Heart, Oil Painting, Japanese Paper, Convex Sphere, and Concave Sphere. Many of these are cheesy but appropriate to a simple printer like this. These changes are only viewable on the stock image included in the menu. Users can only see how the filter applies to their image after printing it out.
 
Users can also create calendars and composite images with the PX20. There is also a whole gallery of clip art, including generic cartoony characters and text greetings in multiple languages.


 
Dedicated B&W Settings / Effects (5.00)
Panasonic PX20 users can choose between the basic selections of monochrome settings, including warm monochrome, cool monochrome, and sepia. It’s standard to have these options, but it would be nice to see more color options for those craftily inclined.



Media Types (5.00)
Paper types for the PX20 are mostly limited to basic postcard paper or wide paper for printing 16:9 aspect ratio pictures. Stickers and adhesive paper can also be purchased.
