Which Printer Should I Buy?

The best way to print with Salsa is with a professional photo printer and an AirPrint dongle.

This guide will walk you through our recommendations for printing to have the best experience for both you and your guests.

 

Recommended

DNP DS620A + AirCastPro II Wireless Print Server

 

The DNP DS620A is one of the most commonly used professional printers in the photo booth industry. In order to use it with Salsa, you will need an AirPrint dongle that connects to the back of the printer. The AirCastPro II (ACP2) is one of many options to provide printers with AirPrint capabilities. It can be used with a variety of other, non-DNP printers, but the DS620A is the recommended option.

Here is a link to the AirCastPro II setup video!

Pros: DS620A produces industry-standard high-quality prints. Paper and ink is widely available. Able to print in all sizes (2x6, 4x6, and 6x6) the ACP2 provides optional printer controls to get the perfect print.

Cons: DS620A can be considered heavy at 26 pounds. Total cost of printer and dongle can be costly.

Further Information

Other Printer Compatibility

 

We have only fully tested the DS620a printer for our booths. There are a few other printers our other customers use, however we cannot guarantee compatibility. If you are unable to use the DS620a, here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a printer:

  • Compatibility with Airprint Dongle

  • Ability to print/cut 4x6 and 2x6 strips

  • Access to printer media

While we cannot guarantee compatibility with other printers, we will do our best to help troubleshoot any issue that may arise.

Next Steps

 

Once you’ve selected the hardware, the next step is to familiarize yourself with Fiesta’s AirPrint feature. You can learn more in our article on How to Print with Fiesta.
