Printing With Dye-Sublimation Printers

A wireless print server will be required to connect your iPad to your printer

Dye-sublimation printers are higher end printers and are recommended if you're using your photo booth professionally.

Because dye-sublimation printers are not AirPrint compatible, you'll need to introduce a wireless print server to give the printer AirPrint capabilities.


How It Works

The easiest way to think about this is that dye-sub printers do not have any wireless capabilities on their own.

The only way to print from an iPad is wirelessly.

Pairing your printer with "print server" software gives the printer wireless capabilities, allowing you to print from the iPad to your dye-sub.


How To Connect

Be sure to reference the print-server's support documentation, which will include specific setup steps.

We also have some instructions about the general process to follow in our help center.


Compatible Print Servers

Simple Booth is compatible with the print servers below. Be sure the print server you choose is compatible with the printer you own or plan to purchase.

The AirCastPro is a great option that will work with a variety of printer brands. Learn more about how to connect to the AirCastPro here.
