TYPES OF PHOTO BOOTHS: STANDARD VS ANIMATED BOOTH
We rent two types of photo booths: Standard and Animated. The Standard Booth creates a traditional photo strip with 3 images. The Animated Booth creates a moving digital image, called a GIF. The animated image is like a quick video or a "Boomerang" effect from Instagram. The Standard Booth can create both digital and printed photo strips, while the Animated Booth creates digital images only.

PHOTO STRIP QUANTITY CALCULATOR:
The standard printer kit can print 200 full color photo strips. You can add more photo strips for $0.30/each. If you do want to add extra photo strips, just call us at 1-800-465-8020.

Wondering how many photo strips to order? We find that 200 photo strips will last for about 3 - 4 hours. This is based upon how long each guest typically spends at the photo booth - including choosing props, posing, and reviewing their photos. Also keep in mind that some guests will opt for digital photos instead of printing. For this reason, the 200 photo strip package typically works perfectly for an average size party or wedding reception.

Note that if you are ordering more than 200 photo strips, someone will need to change the printer ink after every 200 photo strips.  (We provide the instructions and supplies. It takes less than 1 minute to change the ink). 

WHAT IS A PHOTO BOOTH? A photo booth is a popular device used for special events to capture photos. The photo booth is a freestanding kiosk that contains a monitor and built-in camera. When guests press a button on the monitor, the machine takes a photo. The digital photo is then sent to the guest by email or text message. Some photo booths also have a printer, in which case the guest receives a printed photo, which is called a "photo strip." Traditionally, a photo strip features 3 small photos with different poses. Photo booths are an effective way to document special moments at an event and add entertainment value for guests.
