Though one the most conventional compact printers, Panasonic has kept certain priorities high on its agenda, like print quality for a start. As dye-sublimation printers go, the KX-PX20 is a very good example. Panasonic has avoided the pitfall of oversaturated prints and managed a print quality that is natural looking, particularly with neutral grey tones. Printing speed is on a par with the other models we've compared it to.
A relatively large 3.6in LCD display makes viewing and selecting images less of a chore and the print system doesn’t freeze the interface while a print is being produced. Styling wise, the KX-PX20 isn’t going to make your heart miss a beat, but it is very functional, and even comes with a cordless remote controller for your convenience. One problem, though, is that the paper cartridge, when fitted, extends the overall length of the unit considerably, making it a comparatively long printer. Paper and ink packs aren’t cheap or easy to find. If Panasonic could reduce the price of consumables and ensure good availability in retail channels, the KX-PX20 would be highly recommend.
