Photo Booth Printers Built for Event Pros

Your guests want the print in their hand. Not an email. Not a text. A real photo they can take home and stick on the fridge.

That’s why we sell the United Printers Model X. It’s a dye-sub photo booth printer that prints a 4×6 in 12.4 seconds. No smudges. No waiting. No line backing up at your booth.

We’ve serviced over 500 events a year for 13 years. We know what breaks at a wedding at 10pm. The Model X is the printer we use at our own events — that’s why it’s the one we sell.

Get the Model X — $699 (reg. $997) or call/text us at 972-301-2930.

Why a Dye-Sub Printer for Your Photo Booth?

Quick story. When I built my first booth in 2012, I used an inkjet printer from the house. Prints took two minutes each. They cost about $3 a print. The line at my booth was out the door — and not in a good way.

Then I switched to dye-sub. Everything changed.

Here’s why dye-sub wins every time:

  • Speed. 12.4 seconds per print. Your line keeps moving and your guests stay happy.
  • Cost. Prints cost pennies, not dollars. More profit on every event.
  • Quality. Prints come out dry, glossy, and smudge-proof thanks to the protective overcoat. They look like they came from a photo lab.
  • Reliability. No ink cartridges drying up between events. Drop in a roll and go.

The numbers don’t lie. At $699, one booked event usually pays for the whole printer.

Why 700 Prints Per Roll Is a Big Deal

Most photo booth printers hold 300 to 400 prints per roll. The Model X holds 700.

What does that mean for you? You can run back-to-back weekend events without changing media. No fumbling with paper rolls at 9pm while a line of wedding guests watches you. Load it Friday, print all weekend.

Need a Photo Booth Strip Printer? It Does 2×6 Strips Too

Classic photo strips are back in a big way. Weddings love them. Set your booth software to 2-up printing and the Model X turns each 4×6 sheet into two 2×6 strips — so your cost per guest drops even lower.

Not sure how to set that up? We’ll walk you through it. That’s what lifetime support means.

How Does It Compare to a DNP Printer?

A lot of booth owners ask us about the DNP DS620A and the DS-RX1HS. They’re solid printers. But here’s the deal:

  • Price. The Model X is $699. A DNP DS620A runs roughly double that. Same dye-sub technology, hundreds of dollars back in your pocket.
  • Capacity. 700 prints per roll on the Model X. The DS620A holds 400.
  • Support. Buy a DNP online and you’re on your own. Buy from us and you get lifetime tech support from people who run photo booths every weekend.
  • Media in stock. We stock ink and paper in Dallas so you’re never stuck the week before a big event.

You’re not just buying a printer. You’re buying a team that picks up the phone Friday at 5pm when your event is Saturday. You know what I mean?

Photo Booth Printer FAQ

What’s the best photo booth printer?

After 13 years and 500+ events a year, our answer is the United Printers Model X. It’s a dye-sub printer — fast, cheap per print, and photos come out dry and glossy. It’s the printer we run at our own events.

How much does a photo booth printer cost?

Pro dye-sub printers run from about $700 to $1,500. The Model X is $699. Cheap inkjet printers cost less up front but cost way more per print — and they’re slow.
