Hot Folder Print: Automatic Printing for Your Booth
The DNP DS-RX1HS includes DNP's official Hot Folder Print (HFP) software, which watches folders and prints automatically every photo your photo booth drops into them: hands-free, the booth shoots and the print comes out on its own. It's exactly what an unattended event booth needs, weddings, fairs, activations, so you don't depend on an operator glued to the printer. It also makes running multiple printers easy thanks to iSerial over USB, ideal for high-volume installations.
Compatibility and Media
The DNP DS-RX1HS uses DNP RX1 10×15 paper (a kit of 2 rolls + 2 ribbons, up to 1,400 prints), its exclusive original media. Remember the printer is bought once, but the paper and ribbon are re-purchased event after event, a recurring cost, like coffee capsules, so the figure that decides your profitability is the cost per print. Torn between DNP models? The RX1HS is the speed/price sweet spot; for maximum volume and larger formats there's the DNP DS620, and for maximum portability the DNP QW410.
