Increase Your Event-Shooting Profits


Dodge


Hello again! Today I would like to talk about a new approach to events photography and how to stand out from nowadays’ competition. We all know how fast technology advances and how hard it is to keep up with it. Our cameras and lenses have improved over the years and we have enough megapixels in our sensors to take care of almost every job and this is particularly true when dealing with events shooting where capturing the moment is more important that being able to produce a huge poster for a shopping center campaign.


So here we are, in the middle of a soccer game for first graders, equipped with our cameras, lenses, flash, batteries and the rest of the rig. The whole event will probably last two hours and we have to capture as many good shots as possible and, most important of all: engage the proud parents to purchase the photos before they head back home!

Of course there are many ways to operate under these circumstances. One way would be to shoot in location, print back at the office and then take the proofs to the school some other day for the parents to choose the ones they like. This obviously involves a lot of time and effort before the customer eventually commits to purchasing your work. We can also shoot then download the images to a Laptop connected to the photo printer and have the photos printed during the event. Not bad, but there’s still a better, faster way of doing it: using a wireless photo transmitter and a wireless printer.

Today more and more professional photographers benefit from the use of HiTi P510Si wireless enabled printer together with HiTi’s WFT510 transmitter. This combination really speeds up the process in a way that we could only dream a couple of years ago. You can be shooting in the middle of the game and simply by pressing a button, your selected images get transferred almost instantly over to the printer. The P510Si outputs a 6x4 print every 12 seconds and employs rolls of up to 330 pictures for uninterrupted, jams-free production. Besides the 6x4 rolls, the P510Si also accepts 5x7 and 6x9 in convenient Paper and Ribbon packages.


An assistant can then place the prints in TAP’s Event Folders making the presentation much more professional as you increase the value added to your work and, at the same time, offer an almost irresistible product to the parents. A very nice option is the TAP Fantasy 7x5 Event Folder with room for two images or the classic TAP Marathon Ebony. Your customers will be able to buy the prints while being still under the emotion of the moment, not several days later. That alone can make a huge difference in sales.

Just think of all the new possibilities you could be exploiting with a HiTi P510Si and the WFT510 transmitter. Range is incredible too: over 300ft (100mts) which means freedom for you and your camera.
For your next event, may it be a school game or a wedding, consider going wireless. The results will speak for themselves.

HiTi 510Si Wireless Printing Solution


Frederic Friedmann


We recently tested the HiTi 510Si photo printer – a new device that allows instant wireless printing from your camera in conjunction with the HiTi WFT510 transmitter.

We were happily surprised by how easy it was to set up and how fast and unproblematic we were able to take the pictures, select the photo we wanted, and send to print while continuing to shoot.

 HiTi’s Direct Wireless Printing solution allows users to transmit images from a PictBridge compatible digital camera to a photo printer wirelessly. This leaves the photographer free to move around while taking photos and sending selected photos to print, while the printer is working independently and not taking up the photographer’s valuable time. This solution includes the HiTi WFT510 Transmitter and the HiTi P510Si, a standalone roll-type photo printer with wireless functionality.
HiTi’s WFT510 is now the only wireless photo transmitter designed to work with PictBridge compatible digital cameras on the market, and it has proven itself by winning the DIMA 2009 Innovative Digital Product Award.
We’ve heard great things from many of our event photographers who purchased the combo HiTi510Si printer and WFT 510 transmitter to print on the fly their photos at events across the country. We have been discouraged by complicated systems in the past, like the Wi-Pics device, and we did not expect for this system to work so well, so easily, and best of all at such a bargain price (the Printer + the transmitter will cost you about $1500 right now at our imagepro.biz shop).

The possibility to create digital frames and logos and import it directly to the printer was a big hit with our customers, as well as the fact that it comes with a card reader and a mini 3.6” LCD touch screen to print directly from the printer itself, avoiding the need to drag a laptop along to the event. Best of all, the printer weighs in at only 30lbs, giving it excellent portability to go with it’s technology.


The printer has different media sizes available to suit a wide range of needs - 4x6, 5x7, 6x8, or 6x9 images.
The printer also comes with 4 software bundles for FREE:

• eFrame Converter – Easily convert the digital frames or logos you’ve created as TIFF files into files the HiTi can read and use as it’s photo templates.

• EventDesiree Deluxe - For users who want to print a large quantity of photos under limited time constraints.

• ID creator - Multiple ID formats and templates in a few simple steps.

• IDQuickDesiree – Lets you print Passport or ID photos with ease.

By installing the WFT PC Kit bundled with the WFT510, users can also transmit image data directly to a computer, which further enhances the flexibility of the kit. The HiTi WFT510 comes at an affordable price, allowing consumers to enjoy wireless transmission function on their digital cameras just like the high-end DSLR camera users.
We believe that the HiTi P510Si, with it’s integrated wireless technology and direct wireless printing capability, light weight, and ample media range, provides the most convenient and cost efficient printing method for event photographers.
