The Sony UP-971AD printer is a reliable solution for black-and-white thermal printing from medical imaging systems. Suitable for hospital environments, it accepts both analog and digital video inputs, offering high compatibility with various medical devices. Whether used with a mobile C-arm, ultrasound, or radiology application, this device ensures precise reproduction of captured images.
This compact printer stands out for its ease of use and optimized design. Smaller than its predecessor, the UP-970AD, it easily integrates into confined workspaces. Its front control panel centralizes all essential controls, making settings easily accessible. The enlarged LCD screen and white LED backlight ensure optimal readability under any ambient lighting conditions.

For digital inputs, it supports displaying two or four images on a single print. Its panoramic functionality allows the creation of extra-large images up to 600 mm in length.
Another advantage of this printer is its visual print quality control. A preview function allows comparison of different contrast, brightness, and sharpness settings on a nine-image panel before finalizing the print. A quick printable guide is also available to summarize the main printing operations.
Certified to meet IEC 60601-1 medical safety standards, the UP-971AD ensures reliable and safe use in healthcare facilities.
