The Sony UP-860 is a benchtop video graphic printer designed to produce hardcopy prints directly from composite video signals. It accepts a standard BNC composite video input and outputs a printed image on thermal paper, making it a common companion device to ultrasound scanners, endoscopy systems, and other medical or scientific imaging equipment. This unit is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair — the paper tray does not open and the printer is not in working order.

Applications
The Sony UP-860 is a video graphic printer from the 1990s era of analog medical and scientific imaging. Units like this were standard hardcopy output devices paired with ultrasound machines, endoscopes, fluoroscopy systems, microscope cameras, and other composite-video imaging instruments in clinical, research, and industrial settings. They accepted the video output from the imaging device and printed a thermal or thermal-transfer paper copy of the displayed frame on demand — a workflow that predated the shift to digital image archiving (DICOM/PACS). Today these units are sought by technicians servicing legacy imaging systems, collectors of vintage medical equipment, and repair specialists looking for parts, boards, or donor units to restore other working UP-series printers.
This Sony UP-860 Video Graphic Printer is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The paper tray does not open, and the unit is not guaranteed functional. It has not been tested at our facility.
