More and more patients expect not only professional care during their pregnancy, but also something emotional – one of its forms is a souvenir in the form of a printed photo from the ultrasound examination.
Many gynecologists now offer such photos in physical form – not as medical records, but as a symbolic and moving moment that patients take home, show to family, or stick in a pregnancy album.
What is important – for the photo to look aesthetic and be durable, it is worth using equipment that guarantees quality and ease of use. In this article, we will show you how to easily implement ultrasound photo printing in the office, without high costs, with great effect.
An ultrasound image of a baby in the 10th or 20th week of pregnancy is more than a diagnostic image – it is an emotional moment that the patient will remember for years. By giving her a beautifully printed photo, you are building positive associations with the visit and with your office.
In the era of private healthcare and competition between facilities, details make a difference. A colorful, durable ultrasound image on high-quality paper is a simple service that can become your trademark.
Care for emotions, aesthetics and small gestures is something that patients remember. Printing a photo of the child after a prenatal examination strengthens trust and loyalty – and patients are more willing to return to offices where they feel comprehensively cared for.
Unlike a photo sent via text message or email, a printed photo has greater sentimental value. It often ends up on the fridge, goes to future grandparents, or stays in a pregnancy album.
The cost of one 10×15 cm photo is usually around PLN 0.50–0.60, and the emotional value is a priceless experience for the patient. It is an addition that does not burden the clinic’s budget, but can really affect its reception.
Not every printer is suitable for use in a doctor’s office – especially when it comes to printing ultrasound images of pregnancy. This type of equipment must not only be precise, but also intuitive to use and aesthetically neutral to fit into a professional interior. Here are the features that a printer in a gynecological office should meet:
Ultrasound images are often black and white or grayscale, so they require good contrast and sharpness. The printer should offer a minimum resolution of 300 dpi to ensure the visibility of details even on a small format.
Time is a valuable resource in any medical facility. The printer should be ready to work immediately and allow printing in a few seconds, without the need for long waits or complicated operation.
The printer should not require inks or toners, which can dry out or require frequent cleaning. Dye-sublimation technology avoids such problems – printing is done using a ribbon and special paper, which eliminates downtime and reduces service costs.
Printed photos should be resistant to:
Dye-sublimation printing covers the photograph with a protective layer, making the ultrasound photo a keepsake for life.
The printer should be small and quiet so as not to interfere with work in the office. At the same time, its appearance should match the interior – it is best to be minimalist and neutral in color.
Ideally, it should be connected directly to the computer from which the ultrasound images are saved. Operation should be as simple as possible – preferably on the principle of: drag, print, done.
The Citizen CX-02 dye-sublimation printer is a model that perfectly fits the needs of modern gynecological offices. Although originally created for the photographic market, it is increasingly used in the medical industry – especially among doctors managing pregnancies.
“Patients are delighted with the quality of the photos – they look like they came from a professional studio. And I don’t have to worry about service or drying mascaras.” – Joanna, MD, runs a private gynecological office in Warsaw
