Hey All -

I've been asked to shoot an event and provide onsite printing for 5x7, same day. (all my previous event shots have been digital transfers)

What printers would you recommend - probably about 100-125 prints.

thx-Steve

I think most event shooters use dye-sub printers for their speed.

DNP DS40 printer. A little pricey but prints look very nice, 5x7 will cost you about .32 cents a piece.

DNP are excellent onsite event printers. Get your workflow down

If you don't plan on doing a lot of events, I wouldn't buy a dye sub printer, the cost of the printer and media will make it impossible for you to make a profit.

I use two canon inkjet printers, a macbook pro and DslrBooth software for about 5 events a year. The MacBook Pro makes is extremely easy to pool printers and the 2 inkets are pretty quick. We do about 300 prints at each event without a problem. I also use 3rd party ink from Amazon, so my costs are very low.
