Own Printer in PartyPrinter

Do you have a printer at home? Great, that's enough! Thinking about investing in professional equipment? Check out our tips and start earning from rentals.

Any printer? Yes, it will work!

Regardless of whether you have a powerful photo machine or an ordinary home inkjet (and even laser!) printer, the PartyPrinter system will easily support your device. Our smart client (a Windows app connected to your printer) transfers photos from guests straight to your printer - completely in the background, without any intervention.

Important tip: If you decide to use an ordinary home printer, we highly encourage you to use photo paper. Regular "copy" paper will also work, which is a fun joke for a house party, but glossy photo paper will guarantee a wonderful, memorable effect from a wedding or birthday.

RECOMMENDED
Dye-sublimation printer DNP QW410

Professional Dye-sublimation (e.g. DNP QW410)

If you plan to start a rental business or service commercial events, then DNP QW410 is our absolute favorite. It is incredibly small, nimble (weighs only about 6 kg) and prints professional, water-resistant photos.

Purchase price ~ $850 - $1,000
Cost of 1 print ~ $0.15 - $0.20
Print speed approx. 19 seconds
Quality Highest (does not fade)

Professional machines for large events (10x15 photos)

1. DNP DS-RX1HS

A true workhorse of the event and photo booth industry. Although it is larger and heavier (approx. 14 kg), it can print 700 10x15 cm photos from one roll without the need for maintenance. Perfect for weddings and large corporate events.

Purchase price: approx. $850
Cost of 1 print: ~ $0.11
Speed: approx. 15 seconds (10x15)
Roll capacity: 700 photos

2. Mitsubishi CP-D90DW / Citizen CX-02

Compact, yet highly efficient and fast professional printers. Very popular due to their smaller size compared to the RX1 series, but still offering great print speed. They support multiple formats on a single media (rewind function).

Purchase price: approx. $1,000
Cost of 1 print: ~ $0.12
Speed: approx. 10-12 seconds (10x15)
Roll capacity: 400 photos

Budget options: Six-color inkjet printers (CISS)

Printers like "EcoTank" or "MegaTank" use ink bottles. They are an excellent choice for those who want to buy equipment cheaply and literally have penny printing costs. Keep in mind, however, the lower speed and the need to add paper to the tray.

3. Epson L8050 (EcoTank)

One of the most popular photo printers. It has 6 ink colors, which guarantees great tonal transitions and photo quality. The cost of printing one photo depends almost entirely on the price of the paper you use.

Purchase price: approx. $320
Cost of 1 print: ~ $0.07 (depends on paper)
Speed: approx. 1-2 minutes (10x15)
Quality: Photographic (6 colors)

4. Canon PIXMA G640 (MegaTank)

Direct competitor to Epson. It also has 6 ink tanks. Prints in great quality, is cheap to run and very quiet. An excellent choice for small home parties.

Cost of 1 print: ~ $0.07 (depends on paper)
Speed: approx. 1-2 minutes (10x15)
Quality: Photographic (6 colors)

5. Xiaomi Mi Portable Photo Printer (or Instax/ZINK equivalents)

Total miniaturization - a power bank-sized printer that fits in your pocket. It uses ZINK (Zero Ink) technology, so you don't need any inks, and the paper itself is an automatic sticker! The formats are very small (usually 2x3 inches).

Purchase price: approx. $60
Cost of 1 print: ~ $0.50 (most expensive)
Speed: approx. 45 seconds
Format: Small (usually stickers approx. 5x7 cm)
