Are you looking for somewhere to print your work or you looking for paper for you to print?

you can hire a printer with a touch-screen - Mitsubushi make an excellent event printer and I believe it hires out at £150/day plus the paper but the cost per print is very cheap and you can sell the images immediately - way better than trying to sell them after the event.

I agree with Gary. Have seen it demoed at the SWPP this year and last. Check out The Flash Centre as I think they hire them out. Results were excellent from the prints that I saw come out of it and reasonably quick.

The system you are thinking of is the Mitsi Click system. These can be rented from The Flash Centre, System Insight, or PhotoMart

I would suggest that a cheaper alternative is to find an event photographer who is prepared to work with you, will have the kit to do the job, will have all the relevant incsurance in place and the relevant test certificates for the kit, plus have hte knowledge and experience to make the event a success and profitable

Personally, I shoot wirelessly to a dedicated server that runs a software package called Express Digital, that is designed for event photographers, print out on either a Mitsi 9550 for 9x6 prints or a CP3020 for the bigger ones. I buy my card strut mounts by the 100 so always have plenty in stock. Plenty of promo posters and stuff to publicise what we are doing, and an experienced sales team that know how to turn the single image sale into a multi image sale
