Description
HiTi P520L / P525L 5x7" Media Kit — Genuine OEM Paper & Ribbon Print Kit (580 Prints) is the go-to premium-format media for portrait photographers, school photographers, event pros, and photo booth operators who want a bigger, frame-ready print without switching printer platforms.
This is original HiTi OEM 5x7 stock built for the HiTi P520L and HiTi P525L — the paper and ribbon are manufactured and length-matched as a pair, so feeding, color, and ribbon alignment stay consistent print after print.
Each case ships with 2 rolls of 5x7 photo paper and 2 matched dye-sublimation ribbons (290 prints per roll), for a total of 580 prints per case.
HiTiPrinters.com is operated by Southtrend Corp. — an authorized HiTi dealer since 2010, with roots in professional photo printing since 1996. We sell genuine OEM HiTi media only; no gray-market or reboxed stock.
Why a 5x7 Print Instead of 4x6?
A 5x7 print reads as a step up the moment a customer holds it — it's bigger, it frames easily, and it feels like a keepsake rather than a snapshot. That makes it a natural upsell for portrait sessions, school picture days, weddings, and any photo booth package where you want a premium tier above standard 4x6 output, all without buying a different printer.
580 Prints Per Case
290 prints per roll across two rolls — enough runway for a full portrait day or multi-hour event without a media swap mid-session.
Genuine HiTi OEM Stock
Manufactured by HiTi specifically for the P520L/P525L engine — not a compatible or third-party substitute.
Frame-Ready Format
5x7 is one of the most common off-the-shelf frame sizes, which makes it an easy sell as a display-ready keepsake print.
Dye-Sublimation Quality
Continuous-tone color, natural skin tones, and a smudge- and water-resistant finish that holds up over time.
Glossy or Matte, One Media
Finish is chosen in printer settings, not by stocking two different rolls — one kit covers both looks.
Matched Paper-and-Ribbon Pair
Paper length and ribbon yield are calibrated together at the factory, which is why HiTi sells — and we stock — them only as a set.
Compatibility check before you order
This 5x7 kit fits the HiTi P520L and P525L only. It is not sized for the HiTi M610, P630A, P322W, P530D, or P720L/P750L — each of those uses its own 5x7 media spec with a different yield and roll length. Check the model number on your printer's front panel if you're not sure which one you own, or contact us before ordering.
HiTi 5x7 Media Kit Specifications
Storage and Handling
Store unopened rolls in their original packaging at 40-60% relative humidity and below 86°F (30°C), out of direct sunlight and away from dust. Media left in a hot vehicle, a garage, or a humid storeroom can shift color output or cause feeding problems before it's even loaded into the printer — worth keeping in mind for mobile photo booth operators who transport media between events.

Why Use Original HiTi OEM 5x7 Media?
HiTi's dye-sublimation printers are calibrated to a specific paper-and-ribbon pairing. Running mismatched or third-party media is one of the more common causes of feed errors and color drift on the P520L/P525L platform.
- Consistent color accuracy: Helps maintain natural skin tones, rich color, and smooth gradients.
- Reliable ribbon alignment: OEM ribbons are matched to the paper rolls for dependable operation.
- Smooth paper feeding: Correct media specifications help reduce jams and print interruptions.
- Durable 5x7 prints: Dye-sublimation output resists smudging and moisture.
- Premium presentation: Larger 5x7 prints suit keepsakes, portraits, frames, and upgraded event packages.
- Printer protection: Genuine consumables help maintain print-head performance over time.

Yes. This 5x7 media kit is compatible with both the HiTi P520L and HiTi P525L photo printers, with identical print quality on either model.
Will this media work in the M610, P630A, or P720L/P750L?
No. This kit is sized and calibrated for the P520L/P525L only. HiTi's other printer families each use their own 5x7 media spec with a different yield.
Are the ribbons included?

How many prints does this HiTi 5x7 media kit produce?
Each full case produces 580 5x7 prints — 290 prints per roll across 2 rolls.
Can I print glossy and matte with the same media?
Yes. Glossy or matte output is selected through the printer settings. You do not need separate media rolls for glossy and matte finishes.
Is this media good for photo booth businesses?
Yes. The HiTi 5x7 media kit is a good choice for photo booth businesses that want to offer a larger premium print or an upgraded package tier beyond standard 4x6 output.
Why should I avoid generic or third-party media?
Generic or third-party media isn't calibrated to HiTi's paper-and-ribbon length matching, which can cause color inconsistency, feed errors, and printer wear over time. Genuine HiTi OEM media is built to the printer's actual spec.
I mostly need 4x6 or 6x8, not 5x7 — is there a better fit?
If most of your volume is standard 4x6 prints, the P520L/P525L 4x6 kit gives you a higher yield per case and a lower cost per print. If you want a larger premium format than 5x7, the 6x8 kit is the step up. The 5x7 kit sits between the two as a mid-tier upgrade option.
