Don't miss The International Photobooth Convention 2014 | Chicago, Illinois!!!

Hosted by A&A Studios, Inc. | Presented by Photobooth.net | Special Guest, Imaging Spectrum

Once again, A&A Studios will proudly host the International Photobooth Convention (IPC) at their studio in Chicago, Illinois, June 6th-8th. For the opening night, Steve Behen of Imaging Spectrum will present the Brava dye-sub printer. Imaging Spectrum is pulling out all the stops by supplying IPC with the Brava's unique sticker paper!! And of course, no trip to the Windy City would be complete without having your mug shot taken. Guests will be asked to stick their mugs to the A&A Studios line up board. (AKA, America's Most Wanted Boothers). In addition, one lucky mugshot will get a free copy of free license Darkroom Booth. Both digital-retro and true vintage chemical booths will be in action for guest to use.

Since 1999, The International Photobooth Convention is a grassroots biannual occasion for enthusiasts, artists, photographers, collectors, and the otherwise intrigued to get together and celebrate the wonder that is the photochemical photobooth. We take photos, engage in collaborative projects, share tips, give talks, make art, and generally have a great time. Registration for general admission is not required! Just show up and pay at the door, or, use your credit card online to order your tickets. visit: http://convention2014.aastudiosinc.com

Let's face it, dye subs are not very easy on the eyes when left in the open. With the new minimal and sleek booth designs coming into the market these days, the printer is usually left in plain sight to stand in stark contrast to its otherwise pleasing surroundings.

Printer Covers are designed to give your photo printer a beautiful and professional look you'll be proud to display. Made in the USA from 100% acrylic, these printer covers not only make photo printers more attractive but also offer a level of protection against the sun, spills, stains and scratches. The printer covers include vent holes designed to match the exact layout of the photo printer, making sure overheating is never an issue. Everything customers see is a direct reflection of your photography business - so why leave your photo printer un-covered? These covers are the final touch to a perfect on-site printing experience.

Pic Pic continues to lead the way with social media!!!

Creating an auto updating slideshow to display your event photos has gotten a whole lot easier! Gone are the days of setting up a wireless network between two laptops, or running 50+ feet of HDMI or VGA cables! The creators of PicPic Social have released an update to their Wi-Fi Slideshow application that makes setting up a wireless slideshow between your image capturing computer and a TV or projector a whole lot easier!

Referred to as the Chrome Cast update, this latest enhancement allows you as a photographer or photo booth company to stream photos live to a TV or projector powered by Chromecast. Chromecast is a $35 dongle by Google that is meant for streaming content from one source to another. Luckily enough, this includes images from your event that you want to share with all the attendees. Your image capturing computer connects to Chromecast via wi-fi and your images are displayed in a slideshow that automatically updates as new pictures are taken.

Setting up Wi-Fi Slideshow with Chromecast takes 5 minutes the first time and you'll be off and running within seconds each event afterward. Using Wi-Fi Slideshow with Chromecast gives you maximum flexibility in placing your TV or projector anywhere at the venue within range of your wi-fi signal. You won't have to worry about cords tripping people up, or placing your display in an area where wires could run haphazard!

As a Darkroom Booth owner, you can save on a purchase of PicPic. For a limited time only, save $50 off the purchase of a pro license of Wi-Fi Slideshow using promo code DRBW0614!

If you are not using Darkroom Booth, you can get $50 off of your Darkroom Purchase if you combine it with a PicPic promotion.
