Photo booths continue to grow in popularity. Whether at weddings, birthdays, or corporate events: the devices provide a fun experience and give events that wow effect.
But what is special about a photo booth with instant printing? What’s special about a photo booth with instant printing is that the photos taken can be printed out immediately. This is done using a photo printer, which is usually located near the photo booth and connected to it. This gives guests the opportunity to take their snapshots home with them right away.
A photo booth with an instant printer is like the big sister of the Polaroid—only cooler. Because the photos are taken by the guests themselves, it offers an interactive experience. What’s especially great is that event attendees immediately have a keepsake in their hands that they can take home. At the same time, the hosts get great snapshots that can go into the guest book as a reminder of the wonderful day.
In this article, you’ll learn more about renting a photo booth with instant printing—we’ll tell you what to look for when making your selection and how to find the perfect photo booth for your event.
How does a photo booth with instant printing work?
A photo booth with instant printing works very simply—usually you follow these steps:
- Choose funny photo props and take the desired pose in front of the photo booth camera. Make sure everyone is in the picture.
- Tap the shutter button on the touchscreen—now smile!
- Wait for the print. With our Fotichäschte, it takes 8 or 17 seconds, depending on the photo booth.
The photos are transferred directly from the photo booth to the printer transferred. At Fotichaschte.ch we use DNP printers: these are professional photo printers that work with dye-sublimation. The resulting images are characterized by high quality, while the devices work quickly and efficiently.
At Fotichaschte.ch, it’s also important to us that our photo booths are easy to use for all age groups . That’s why the touchscreen on our Fotichäschte is intuitive to operate and provides clear instructions, which greatly improves ease of use.
For which events is a photo booth especially suitable?
The great thing about photo booths is that they are adaptable and versatile. Here’s just a small selection of events where they can add value:
- Weddings
- Measure
- Corporate celebrations
- anniversaries
- Birthdays
- Graduation ceremonies
At private celebrations such as weddings, photo booths are often the entertainment highlight. Your guests can take fun snapshots and connect with other invitees. On our blog you can find out, which photo booth you should rent for your wedding.
Corporate events, on the other hand, can be enhanced by photo booths as a branding measure. This helps companies get guests to interact with the brand, which can have a positive effect on brand loyalty.
For all types of events, one thing is clear: a photo booth can influence the atmosphere and lift the mood. By placing the device in a clearly visible spot or encouraging guests to participate with photo games, you’ll get the most out of the photo booth.
What are the advantages of instant printing compared to digital photo booths?
Unlike photo booths with instant printing, with a digital photo booth your guests receive their photos only as digital files, for example via SMS delivery or in an online gallery.
This may seem practical at first—but the great thing about a photo booth with instant printing is that your guests have a souvenir in their handsthat they can take home at the end of the evening. When your guests wait for their print and finally hold it happily in their hands, it also increases the feeling of on-site interactivity.
Instead of having to wait for a digital file, your guests feel instant joy as soon as the print comes out of the printer. And let’s be honest: how often do you plan to print downloaded photos—and then never actually do it? The photos from the instant printer can be placed straight into a photo album or hung on the fridge.
