Genuine DNP 4×6 Media Kit for the DS620A — 800 Prints, 3 Finishes
The DNP DS6204X6 Media Kit is the original DNP-manufactured paper and ribbon consumable set engineered exclusively for the DNP DS620A dye-sublimation photo printer. Each kit contains 2 paper rolls and the matching dye-sub ink ribbons needed to produce 800 full-color 4×6 prints per case (400 prints per roll) — or 1,600 photo booth strips when running 2-up 2×6 mode.
Built for high-volume event environments, this is the consumable kit professional photo booth operators, event photographers, school portrait labs, sports tournament printers, corporate activation teams, and retail kiosk operators rely on for fast, reliable, lab-quality prints from the first sheet to the last.
Three Finishes From One Media Kit
One of the biggest advantages of the DS620A printer is the ability to produce three different finishes from the same media roll:
- Glossy — maximum color saturation and vibrancy. Best for retail kiosk prints, sports event photos, and standard photo booth output.
- Matte — soft non-reflective finish that hides fingerprints and eliminates glare. Best for upscale weddings and corporate events.
- Fine Matte — DS620A premium finish with refined texture, ideal for portrait studios and gallery-style prints.
You select the finish in your photo booth software (Darkroom Booth, dslrBooth, Breeze, etc.) or directly through the printer driver. No separate inventory for different finishes — one kit serves every event type.
What’s Included in Every Kit
- 2 × DNP 4×6 photo paper rolls (400 prints per roll)
- 2 × matching DNP dye-sublimation ink ribbons
- 800 total 4×6 prints per case (or 1,600 strips in 2-up mode)

What printers does the DNP DS6204X6 media kit work with?
This media kit is compatible with both the DNP DS620A (current production model) AND the original DNP DS620 (predecessor). It is NOT compatible with the DNP DS-RX1HS, RX1, DS40, DS80, DS820, QW410, or SL620A — those models each require their own model-specific media kit.
Does this media kit print Glossy, Matte, AND Fine Matte finishes?
Yes. The DS620A printer can produce all three finishes — Glossy, Matte, and Fine Matte — from the same media roll. You select your finish in the printer driver or your 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. Note: Fine Matte is a DS620A-exclusive finish; the original DS620 supports Glossy and Matte only.
How many prints do I get per box of DS6204X6?
You get a total of 800 4×6 prints per box. Each case includes 2 paper rolls and 2 ink ribbons, with each roll yielding exactly 400 4×6 prints. If you run 2-up mode (printing two 2×6 photo booth strips per 4×6 sheet), you’ll get 1,600 strips per kit instead.
Can the DS620A print 2×6 photo booth strips?
Yes. When paired with the DS620A or DS620 printer, this 4×6 media can be automatically cut to produce standard 2×6 photo booth strips (printing two 2×6 strips per 4×6 sheet). Your photo booth software simply needs to be set to 2×6 strip mode. This effectively doubles your strip output to 1,600 per kit.
When should I use Glossy vs Matte vs Fine 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 and eliminates glare under harsh event lighting — best for upscale weddings and corporate events. Fine Matte is the DS620A’s premium finish — a refined matte texture ideal for portrait studios and gallery-style prints. All three come from the same media kit, so you can offer any finish at any event.
What photo booth software is compatible with this media?
The DNP DS620A and DS620 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 prints to the DS620A, and you select the finish in the print settings.
Do I need to change the ink and paper at the same time?
Yes. Because this is a matched dye-sublimation kit, one ribbon roll will run out at the exact same time as one paper roll (after 400 prints). Always replace both together when the printer prompts for a media change. The matched paper and ribbon work together — you can’t replace just one component.
What’s the cost per print with this media kit?
Divide the kit price by 800 to calculate your raw 4×6 cost per print. For 2×6 photo booth strips printed in 2-up mode, divide by 1,600. 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 DS620A. Using genuine DNP media is required to maintain proper print quality, color consistency, and printer warranty.
How should I store unused DNP DS6204X6 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 environments with extreme temperature swings.




































Honestly, I was skeptical because the price was so much lower than B&H or Adorama, but the media is legit. Fast shipping to LA and saved me a good chunk of change on my overhead.
Been using DNP for years now. The colors are always spot on and I love that I can do a matte finish without having to buy different paper. It’s just easy to deal with.
I’ve run thousands of prints through my DS620A using this kit and haven’t had a single jam. The colors are punchy and the 4×6 size is exactly what my clients expect. It’s reliable, which is the most important thing when you’re live at a wedding or corporate event. I always keep a back-up box in the van.
