What do camera, flash and printer cost on top?

What do printers and media cost separately?

If you buy the printer separately or add it later, the DNP DS620 costs €1,490, the Citizen CX2 €1,299 and the Sinfonia CS2 €1,199. Running costs arise almost entirely from print media:

Cost per photo is calculated from price and number of prints; shipping is not included. The guide Which photo printer for a photo booth? explains which printer model pays off.

Which running costs are added?

After that the installed version keeps running, an update subscription is optional (according to the developer around 17 US dollars per month with annual payment, as of January 2026).
• Transport: cases from €249 (Selphy) via €649 (Natty) and €1,399 (Ready) to €1,890 (Profy, two parts). Two flight cases are included with the Mirror.

The detailed comparison is in the guide Rent or buy a photo booth, the systems in detail in the photo booth comparison.

Which hidden costs are there not?

With our systems there are no licence fees per event, no compulsory subscriptions and no fees for sharing photos. The online albums via fotoshare.co are part of the dslrBooth licence. Spare parts such as doors, rear panels or tripod mounts are supplied from Greiz at individual prices; a tripod mount for the Ready costs €45, for example, a Ready door without iPad cut-out €90. As for VAT: business customers in the EU with a valid VAT ID and customers in Switzerland order net; private customers in Austria, Italy, France, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic pay their own country’s VAT on the fixed net price.
