Can I use Darkroom software with the Fujifilm Frontier DX400/DX400W?

Yes, the DX400/DX400W can be used with Darkroom via BlueFX’s Print-by-Proxy, just as with the earlier DX100 model. In this setup, Darkroom sends print jobs to a small number of supported printer types as normal.

BlueFX monitors those job files and imports them to be printed to the DX400 behind the scenes. This means you don’t need to leave Darkroom, create multiple printer setups, or handle output manually – BlueFX handles the redirection automatically.

You can print standard sizes directly, and custom sizes can be created on the fly by BlueFX when needed. The workflow remains familiar for Darkroom users, while enabling support for the newer DX400 series without additional complexity.

How does BlueFX software for the Fujifilm Frontier DX400 compare to Fujifilm’s own offering?

Fujifilm provides support for the DX400/DX400W as part of its standard MS software. It offers broad functionality aimed primarily at the retail sector, including connections to kiosks and access to Fujifilm’s Image Intelligence technology.

These tools include basic layout and print functions, but they are not primarily intended for high-volume photographic workflows or integrated ecommerce fulfillment.

BlueFX is designed to fill that gap and re-purpose this fast and versatile printer. It’s a workflow solution tailored to the needs of professional photo labs, school and sports photographers, and ecommerce retailers – where automation, job tracking, mixed-format output, and multi-printer setups are essential.

BlueFX builds on the DX400’s capabilities with cluster printing (supporting up to 17 printers of differing makes and models), barcode and QR code support, and seamless integration with platforms such as Shopify, GotPhoto, Pixfizz, Dakis, Photofinale, WooCommerce, Sunshine Photo Cart, Sytist, Portraitbox, and others.

In short: Fujifilm gives you the printer. We give you the workflow.
