New · Direct Printing for DNP

The print server
is history.

Plug your DNP printer straight into your iPad and print. One cable. No extra hardware. No mid-event mysteries.

An iPad running the Snappic app connected by a single USB-C cable through a hub to a DNP DS620A printer, which is printing a photo

One less device to babysit

Your print server did one job: pass photos to the printer. Now the iPad does that itself.

Direct printing+a whole new printing engine

Direct USB printing is the headline — and every one of these ships right alongside it, free in the same update.

Run a whole fleet from one iPad

Add as many printers as you like — even the same printer twice with different settings, like "Strips (matte)" and "6×4 (glossy)". Save a setup once and reuse it at every event.

Smart routing

Strips go to the strips printer, 6×4s to the 6×4. Every template lands on the right machine, automatically.

Live print queue

Watch every job move from queued to done. Cancel or retry — one at a time or all at once.

Live printer status

Loaded media, prints remaining and printer health, right in the app.

Per-printer settings

Matte or glossy, margins, quality, strips per sheet — tuned separately for each printer.

2-up 4×6

Print two 4×6s per sheet, with sizes matched to your media — no surprises.

Test Print

One tap prints a calibration card, so margins are perfect before doors open.

Batch printing

Select a stack of photos and print them all in one go.

All-new printer screen

A rebuilt Printers list makes adding and managing printers dead simple.

Direct USB printing needs an iPad with an M-series (or newer A-class) chip on iPadOS 16+, connected over USB-C. Validated on the DNP DS620A — the DS820A, QW410, DS40 and DS-RX1 speak the same protocol and are supported as untested. AirPrint and print-server setups keep working too.
