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.

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!

Try the HiTi brand dye-sub printer (or similar) if they still exist. I had a photobooth business for 10+ years and that’s what worked best. I own 2. They can be finicky, but they’re snappy and are built for speed and volume. Don’t bother with inkjet if you have any intention of moving quickly.
