A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

What equipment would you need to print photos out on the spot? (alien.top)

I got asked to take Santa photos for the holidays at a children’s play space. The owner wants the photos to be available for the clients on the spot to be taken and printed out right away. What’s a good printer that doesn’t take away the quality from the photo? I definitely know we’d need some good quality photo paper! Thanks in advance!

You could get an inkjet photo printer or a dye sub photo printer, combined with good paper, both will produce excellent images, however it wont be exceedingly fast.
Im guessing, but it could take 10 minutes ish to print them out depending on size and honestly, it's going to cost a LOT more per print that commercial prints.
