# Printers for Professionals Dye-sublimation printers are more expensive and require a couple of additional setup steps, but if you’re using Simple Booth professionally, they are a worthwhile investment. They are much faster than [consumer printers](/hardware-and-gear/printing/printer-recommendations/printers-for-casual-use.md), with some models printing in as little as 30 seconds. The time savings will be noticeable at busy events. They also have lower long-term media costs, since paper and ink bundles are more affordable over time. Some models can even cut photo strips automatically. *** ### Recommended brands * [DNP](https://dnpphoto.com/en-us/) * [HiTi](https://www.hiti.com/) *** ### Using Dye-Sub Printers **Dye-sublimation printers are not built to be AirPrint compatible**, so need to be paired with a print server before it will be able to connect to your iPad. Without wireless print server software, your iPad and dye-sub printer will not be able to communicate. #### Compatible Print Servers Be sure the print server you choose is compatible with the printer you own or plan to purchase. * [**AirCastPro 3**](https://aircastpro.com/): 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](/hardware-and-gear/printing/printer-setup/aircast-pro-setup.md). * [**DNP WCM Plus**](https://dnpphoto.com/en-us/Products/Event-and-Retail-Solutions/WCMPlus): DNP's WCM Plus pairs seamlessly with DNP printer models. Learn more about how to connect to the WCM [here](/hardware-and-gear/printing/printer-setup/dnp-wcm-setup.md). {% hint style="warning" %} We cannot guarantee that other print servers not listed here will work reliably. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
