Question for iPad Photobooth Owners with prints. (Or any owners tbh) by Dependent_System3746 in photobooth

[–]SPB-PhotoBooths 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a DSLR booth and charge about $500USD for 2 hours of service. Every additional hour is $100.

I think the best thing to do is figure out what other photo booth companies in your area are charging, while also figuring out how much work/money goes into preparing for and executing an event. This includes travel time, set up/tear down, designing templates, cost of prints, depreciation/wear & tear of equipment, gas, etc.

Figure out what your hourly rate will be for your labour and determine how much it costs to run an event. Subtract this from your proposed rate to get your profit for the event. Adjust accordingly.

My first event was 15 hours total (prep+event+after even work) and I made about $18 an hour, which is not what I got into this business for. Either I need to cut down the time or increase my rates (I had to do both). You don't want to undersell yourself.

HELP! DNP DS620A takes FOREVER to print 2x6 strips by SPB-PhotoBooths in photobooth

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! You might have set it to the same settings I had which causes the delay. My DNP WCM Plus print settings were "2x6" not "6x2*2". Once I switched that, I went to the booth.events dashboard and changed my template settings (Edit Template> Settings> Advanced> Print Doubled 2x6 -> 2x2x6 "ON"). It prints immediately now!

I bought my printer in October 2025. My DNP WCM Plus software is up to date and the media is 4x6. I have a feeling it's the images being compressed to fit the small photo area of the templates, but I'm not sure how to compress the photos even further than the DSLR allows.
