Title: Recommendations For A Dye Sub Photo Booth Printer
Post by: Kevin Gallagher on July 19, 2017, 10:18:34 am
 Hi guys, my sportsmen's club is toying with the idea of offering souvenir prints for sale to the participants at our various functions during the year. I'm looking for experiences good or bad with any of the current crop of dye sub printers. I have a budget of around $800.00 for the printer and I do realize that the "selphy" type are most likely not up the this. At this point the thinking is that 5x7 would be the size we would offer. Thanks!!

B&H has a large "Dye Sub Printers and Accessories" selection, many in your price range, along with user reviews.  If you haven't already that would be a good place to start.

I used DNP dye subs for printing on location at events. They were rock solid and simply easy to use.  Stopped doing those events---but would not hesitate with DNP if I were to do events and print on location.

 Thanks Richard and Ken. I hate to sound so cynical but I just wonder how many of the "reviews" you see on many sites are truly real or just planted to either support or disparage the item in question. I have been looking at the B&H reviews though.

 Well gang, I pulled the trigger and have an DNP DS620A printer along with some media and a nice carrying case coming in from B&H. It should arrive Monday and once I get a couple of events under my belt I'll report back. Thanks again guys!!
