Why Larger Print Sizes Matter

The DS820A is especially valuable for businesses that want to move beyond standard 4×6 event prints and offer larger, higher-value photo products. Larger formats such as 8×10 and 8×12 are commonly used for portraits, school photography, sports packages, framed prints, display products, attraction photos, and premium event upgrades.

Wireless Printing Option with DNP WCM Plus

The DNP DS820A connects directly to a computer by USB. The printer itself does not include built-in WiFi. For businesses that want wireless printing from iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Windows computers, or macOS systems, the DS820A can be paired with the optional DNP WCM Plus Wireless Connect Module.

The optional WCM Plus is useful for event and onsite photo workflows where wireless image transfer and flexible device connectivity are important.

• Photo booth operators
• Event photographers
• Corporate activations
• Schools and graduations
• Theme parks and attractions
• On-site photo sales

If wireless printing is important for your workflow, consider adding the DNP WCM Plus to your DS820A setup.

DNP DS820A as a Photo Booth Printer

This makes the DS820A especially useful for higher-end weddings, corporate activations, attractions, and events where larger prints can be sold as upgrades or included in premium packages.
