The DNP WCM-Plus is a versatile device designed to facilitate wireless printing to DNP printers, offering a comprehensive solution for mobile devices, Windows PCs, and Macs. Its primary function is to enable seamless photo printing from various sources, including iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and computers, through multiple printing methods such as direct printing, AirPrint®/IPP, Hot Folder, and SFTP.
The core function of the WCM-Plus is to act as a central hub for DNP printers, allowing users to print wirelessly. It creates a hotspot network, enabling direct connection from mobile devices and computers. When connected to a local Wi-Fi network, the WCM-Plus also provides internet access to devices connected to its hotspot and makes connected printers available to other devices on the same Wi-Fi network. This dual connectivity enhances its utility in various environments, from personal use to event photography.
The device supports all current DNP printers and several legacy models, ensuring broad compatibility. It automatically identifies the printer and media type, eliminating the need for manual printer setup for each print size. This "Easy Setup" feature streamlines the printing process, making it user-friendly even for those less familiar with printer configurations.
A key capability of the WCM-Plus is its high-speed transfer, facilitated by powerful hardware, allowing for quick image processing and printing. This speed is crucial for events and situations requiring rapid print output.
Beyond basic printing, the WCM-Plus offers advanced image editing features when using the WCM Print function. Users can crop and perform basic edits, including color correction, applying filters, fit/fill adjustments, and drawing tools, directly from the portal. This integrated editing capability ensures optimal print quality and creative control.
The device also supports the addition of borders to prints, a feature available across all printing methods. Users can choose from pre-loaded borders or upload custom borders, which can include fun frames or business branding elements. This adds a personalized touch to prints and can serve as a marketing tool.
For managing printed images, the WCM-Plus includes an "Image Archive" feature, allowing users to store pictures for reprints, further edits, or downloads. The "Instant Reprint" function, accessible from the print queue, enables quick reprinting of the last ten images.
The WCM-Plus is designed to connect multiple DNP printers simultaneously, with three available USB ports. This allows for a wider range of print sizes or provides redundancy, reducing the frequency of media loading.
For professional use, the device integrates with DNP's Party Print subscription service, enabling photobooth operators and event photographers to manage printing and slideshow displays. The WCM-Plus can handle both printing and slideshow features for Party Print events, offering an expanded product offering for guests.
