DNP DS-RX1HS 4×6 Media Kit — 1,400 Prints with Both Glossy & Matte Finishes
The DNP DS-RX1HS 4×6 Media Kit is the original DNP-manufactured paper and ribbon consumable set for the DNP DS-RX1HS and RX1 dye-sublimation photo printers. Each kit includes 2 paper rolls and the matching dye-sub ink ribbons needed to print exactly 1,400 4×6 photos per case (700 prints per roll). The same kit also produces 2×6 photo booth strips — the printer automatically cuts a 4×6 sheet into two 2×6 strips when you select 2-up mode in your photo booth software.
One Kit, Both Glossy & Matte Finishes — No Need to Stock Two Types
Here’s the feature most photo booth operators miss: the DS-RX1HS printer can produce both Glossy AND Matte finishes from the SAME media roll. You don’t buy a “Glossy media kit” or a “Matte media kit” — you buy one kit and switch finishes on-the-fly through the printer driver or your photo booth software (Darkroom Booth, dslrBooth, Breeze, etc.).
This dual-finish capability means:
- One inventory line — no need to stock separate Glossy and Matte boxes
- Mid-event flexibility — offer guests their choice of finish without a media change
- Premium upsell potential — charge extra for matte “gallery-style” prints at the same event using the same media
- No wasted partial rolls — finish off any roll regardless of customer preference
Glossy Finish
Maximum color saturation, deepest blacks, and the punchy, vibrant look most retail and consumer photo customers expect. Best for kiosk printing, school portraits, sports tournaments, and standard photo booth output.
Matte Finish
Non-reflective surface that hides fingerprints, eliminates glare under harsh event lighting, and gives prints a refined gallery-style look. Best for upscale weddings, corporate events, and premium activations where guests handle prints heavily.
What’s Included in Every Kit
- 2 × DNP 4×6 photo paper rolls (700 prints per roll)
- 2 × matching DNP dye-sublimation ink ribbons
- 1,400 total 4×6 prints per case (or 2,800 strips in 2-up mode)
- Both Glossy and Matte finishes — driver-selectable
- Genuine DNP factory-sealed packaging
Compatible Printers
- DNP DS-RX1HS — the high-speed model (290 prints/hour at 4×6, 12.4 seconds per print)
- DNP RX1 — the original model, when updated to firmware v2.04 or later (free download from DNP)
Note: This media kit replaces the discontinued original RX1-4×6 media. The new RX1HS media boxes have blue writing on the side; the new ribbon has a grey end cap. If you’re still running the original RX1, update to firmware v2.04 before using this kit. Original RX1 owners on older firmware should keep their old RX1-4×6 media until the firmware update is complete.

Does this media kit print both Glossy and Matte finishes?
Yes. The DNP DS-RX1HS and original RX1 printers can produce both Glossy AND Matte finishes from the same media roll — there’s no separate “Glossy media” or “Matte media” to buy. You select your finish in the printer driver or photo booth software (Darkroom Booth, dslrBooth, Breeze, etc.) and the printer applies the correct overcoat at print time. This means one inventory line, mid-event finish flexibility, and no wasted partial rolls.
How many prints does the DNP DS-RX1HS 4×6 media kit produce?
Each kit produces 1,400 prints total — 2 paper rolls with 700 prints per roll. If you run 2-up mode (printing two 2×6 photo booth strips per 4×6 sheet), you’ll get 2,800 strips per kit. The kit includes both the paper rolls and the matched dye-sublimation ink ribbons needed to use them.
Is this media compatible with the original DNP RX1 printer?
Yes, with one important note. This media kit is designed for the DNP DS-RX1HS and is compatible with the original RX1 printer ONLY if it has been updated to firmware v2.04 or later. The firmware update is free and available from DNP’s support site. This kit replaces the discontinued original RX1-4×6 media. The new RX1HS media boxes have blue writing on the side; the new ribbon has a grey end cap (the old RX1 media had yellow writing and yellow ribbon end caps).
Can this media print 2×6 photo booth strips?
Yes. The DS-RX1HS and RX1 printers can cut a 4×6 sheet into two 2×6 photo booth strips automatically when you enable 2-up or 2×6 mode in your photo booth software. This effectively doubles your strip output to 2,800 per kit. Same media, two popular event-print formats.
When should I print Glossy vs Matte?
Glossy delivers maximum color saturation, deepest blacks, and the punchy retail-style look most consumer photo customers expect — best for kiosk printing, school portraits, sports tournaments, and standard photo booth output. Matte has a non-reflective finish that hides fingerprints, eliminates glare under harsh event lighting, and gives prints a refined gallery look — best for upscale weddings, corporate events, and any environment where guests handle prints heavily before framing. Since both finishes come from the same media kit, you can offer either at any event without committing to one in advance.
What photo booth software is compatible with this media?
The DNP DS-RX1HS and RX1 printers are fully supported by every major photo booth software platform, including Darkroom Booth (Pro and Booth 3), dslrBooth, Breeze DSLR Remote Pro and Webcam Photobooth, Photo Booth Connected, Sparkbooth, Social Booth, Snappic, and Salsa Booth. The media kit itself doesn’t require any software-specific configuration — your booth software simply prints to the DS-RX1HS, and you select Glossy or Matte in the print settings.
What’s the cost per print with this media kit?
Divide the kit price by 1,400 to calculate your raw 4×6 cost per print. For 2×6 photo booth strips printed in 2-up mode, divide by 2,800. Knowing your per-print cost is essential for setting photo booth package pricing and quoting per-print rates for events. Buffalo Imaging offers volume discounts on case-quantity orders that further reduce your cost per print — contact us directly for bulk pricing.
Is this genuine DNP media or a third-party alternative?
This is 100% genuine DNP-manufactured media — paper and ribbons made and sealed by DNP (Dai Nippon Printing) at the factory. Buffalo Imaging is an authorized DNP dealer, which means you receive fresh stock with full manufacturer support and warranty coverage. We do not sell gray-market, expired, or third-party “compatible” media for the RX1HS. Using genuine DNP media is required to maintain proper print quality, color consistency, and printer warranty.
Will this media work with the DNP DS40, DS80, DS620, or DS820 printer?
No. Each DNP printer model uses its own specific media kit. This RX1HS 4×6 kit is designed exclusively for the DS-RX1HS and RX1 printers. Other DNP models (DS40, DS80, DS620, DS620A, DS820, DS820A, QW410, SL620A) require their own model-specific paper and ribbon sets. If you need media for a different DNP printer, contact us — we stock the full DNP consumable lineup.
How should I store unused DNP media?
Store unopened DNP media kits in their original sealed boxes, in a cool, dry environment (60-75°F, 40-60% humidity), away from direct sunlight. Stored properly, sealed media has a shelf life of approximately 2 years from the manufacture date. Once a roll is opened and loaded in the printer, plan to use it within 30-60 days for best print quality. Don’t store media kits in vehicles, garages, or any environment with extreme temperature swings.
Do you offer bulk pricing for photo booth operators?
Yes. Buffalo Imaging offers volume pricing for photo booth rental businesses, event photographers, school portrait operators, and other professional users buying DNP media in case quantities or on standing orders. Free shipping on orders over $149. Tax-exempt and PO-friendly options available for established business accounts. Contact our team directly for bulk quotes and recurring-order pricing.
