Abstract Results are presented on the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in deep inelastic scattering with a four-momentum transfer of Q^2>4 GeV^2. The cross sections are measured for the transverse momentum range of the photons 3 < E_T^gamma < 10 GeV and for the pseudorapidity range of the photons -1.2 < eta^gamma < 1.8. They are measured differentially as a function of E_T^gamma and eta^gamma. The results are compared with the predictions of a new leading order calculation, which is in reasonable agreement with the inclusive measurement. Comparisons with the predictions of the event generator PYTHIA are also presented.
