this small printer holds 30 to 60 sheets of paper at once
It is rather slow about 1min10sec per print, but can work if your are on a budget.
I read one review only on this printer so I thought I would give a second review.
the one review I read said it worked but slowed down over time so after 2 hrs of usage it would take 3 or 4 minutes per print.

I have never tested this to see if it was true.
I did use it at an event last night and put a hard drive cooling fan on top of the printer's vent ports.

it worked fine for 4 hours of usage.

In order to prevent a back log you have two choices:
1. make the time between taking photos pretty long so that each sesstion takes about a minute. Thus instead of your normal 5 second count down do something like 10 seconds. or use a layout like a 6 up one that takes more time
2. printer pool two of these units together.

Reprints really slow down the process. If you do 5 reprints then that is around 6 minutes people need to wait to get their photos.

People are so impatient they will exit the booth and IMMEDIATELY ask where is the print? I have to tell them it takes 2 mintues (old chemical booths took 3 to 4 minutes)

anyways It is a good starter printer, and a good back up printer.

media is about 30 cents a sheet.

one really annoying aspect of changing ink is a window will pop open saying to change the ink. you must click 4 different boxes to continue, seriously annoying.
