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!

Well there is a pretty wide range of options depending on your budget and willingness to set something up.

The easiest and trouble free are the Fuji instax or Fuji instax wide. (You can also go Polaroid sx70 if your budget allows.)

There are small volume digital printers that you can connect to the camera or read off the sd card like the canon selfy (I think I spelled its name wrong.) Not too expensive and doesn’t take up much space. But it is not the quickest printer.

On the other end of the spectrum that is a fixed location and based on a digital workflow, bring a laptop any photo printer. Shoot teathered and print from Lightroom.
