This has not changed to this day, meaning that anyone who wants to use photo printers on the go or print from mobile devices is left out in the cold. <br\/><br\/>While nearly all manufacturers tried to come up with solutions and offered adapters for their photo printers\u2014which, on one end, have a USB port for the printer and, on the other, create a Wi-Fi network that users can connect to with a smartphone, tablet, or other Wi-Fi-enabled device\u2014 However, all earlier approaches had one thing in common: they were expensive and\/or didn\u2019t work reliably, were cumbersome to use, or required clunky apps. Consequently, these products quickly disappeared from the market.  <br\/><br\/>A turning point didn\u2019t emerge until late 2021, when DNP introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordfoto.de\/Digital-Imaging\/Thermo-Fotodrucker-Zubehoer\/Thermo-Fotodrucker-Zubehoer\/DNP-WCM-2-Wireless-Print-Server-V3-0::11672.html\">WCM2<\/a>. This Wi-Fi print server made it possible for the first time to connect professional thermal printers in the way we expect today. However, this was limited to DNP printers\u2014and wasn\u2019t always without its issues, as there were frequent instances of longer print times and connection drops. These \u201cteething problems\u201d should have been resolved by now, but as we\u2019ve heard from some customers, such issues can still occur even with the latest version, V3.   <br\/><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordfoto.de\/Digital-Imaging\/Thermo-Fotodrucker-Zubehoer\/Thermo-Fotodrucker-Zubehoer\/AirCastPro-II::12005.html\">AirCastPro II<\/a> is now the game-changer in this field\u2014a high-end wireless print server for wireless printing from all common devices to all common dye-sublimation photo printers!
