With the PT BOOTH Custom Photo Booth Software we are offering the following choices of Print Templates

Shinko S2145, HiTi P510, New Printer Choice For The Photo Booth

2011-08-12T16:56:00.000-07:00

As the technology changes around us old products are discontinued while new and exciting products hit the market. The key for those like us who depend on technology is to stay on top of these changes and adapt ourselves when necessary. This is exactly what has happened here at Photo Booth Experts.

Recently we at Photo Booth Experts began to add to our arsenal of photo booths. As we were constructing more of our booths we discovered that the Sony Printers we have been relying on and recommending to you for your photo booths have been discontinued. In fact, Sony has gotten out of the printer business all together. We continue to strongly recommend the Sony Printers but they will become more difficult to find as time goes on.

Upon hearing that Sony was getting out of the printer business we immediately set out to find a compatible replacement and we are proud to announce that we have done just that!

NOTE! At this time DNP DS40 will not work properly with the current portrait (2 photostrips) print templates. Only landscape templates are working with this printer due to the glitch in printer driver.

Our research has led two models that we feel are best suited for the photo booth applications.
Take a few moments to watch our online videos to see these two printers in action.

These two models include:

HiTi P510

Shinko 2145

Both models are comparable in price to the Sony printers and roughly the same price. In addition they will cut individual strips giving you the authentic photo strip experience.

We would like to point out that these two printers worked well for us during testing and it is only our opinion that these printers will be the best replacement for the discontinued Sony printers. Ultimately in the end you will need to decide what printer is best for you.

Photo Booth Printer

2011-02-08T15:52:00.000-08:00

There is an ongoing debate as to what printer to use in the Photo Booth. Over the last few years we have heard from many Photo Booth owners who have contributed many ideas.

Often the question of why we don’t use Inkjet printers comes up. Through our testing Inkjet printers have proven to be unpractical for Photo Booth applications. They are slow and very expensive when it comes to paper and ink.

Through extensive research we have determined that the best printer choice for the Photo Booth is the Dye Sublimation printer. Here is why:

Outstanding quality
Very affordable cost per print
Fast printing (some printers could print 4x6 in about 8 sec)
Amount of prints per load (depends on the printer model from 300 to 700 per load)
Durability

We at Photo Booth Experts after looking into the Dye Sublimation printers have decided to choose Sony printers. Other brands may work just as well and we are only recommending the Sony printers based on our successful experiences with them.

Sony offers a great line of Dye Sublimation printers. We have found the following models to be most suitable for the Photo Booth:

Sony UP-CX1
Sony UP-DR150
Sony UP-DR200

Out of these three our preferred model is the Sony UP-DR200. This printer has been surpassing our expectations. After switching from the Sony UP-DR150 there was a big difference in overall operation.

Here are a few highlights of the Sony UP-DR200:

1 load is 700 prints!
Easy to load paper and ribbon
Fantastic performance
Easy to maintain
Cut driver! Cuts 4x6 in half

We love our Sony UP-DR200! This article is not about advertising any particular brand but rather sharing our opinion and experience about this product.

As with the camera models the printer you decide to use is up to you.

Photo Booth Camera Choice

2010-12-13T11:11:00.000-08:00

We have been conducting our Photo Booth Rental business since 2007 and after analyzing a wide range of Canon cameras we have selected the following models as the best choice for Photo Booth applications:

Canon PowerShot S5IS, Canon PowerShot G9 or the Canon PowerShot G10.

These models work best for the following reasons:

Very Affordable

Small size

8-12 MP

Hot shoe for Flash

Inexpensive DC power supply

Perfect image quality

Just know that our choice of the best model is only our opinion. With the photo booth being constantly moved and used by other people we just could not come up with any benefit of risking damage to an expensive EOS camera.

It is your choice at the end but we recommend the Canon PowerShot S5IS, Canon PowerShot G9 or the Canon PowerShot G10.
