Event Photo Market

What Event Photo Market does

Event Photo Market is a US-based, privately held digital imaging retailer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The company operates as a specialized e-commerce reseller of professional dye-sublimation photo printing equipment, workflow software, and consumable media targeting event photographers, photo booth operators, school photographers, youth sports photography businesses, photo retailers, and hospitality/attraction venues. The catalog spans printers from DNP, FujiFilm, HiTi, Mitsubishi, Sinfonia, SwiftFoto and other manufacturers, complemented by proprietary wireless print server products under the AirCastPro brand.

The core technology stack centers on dye-sublimation thermal transfer printing hardware, supplemented by the proprietary AirCastPro 3 wireless print server (marketed as the fastest on the market, supporting iOS/Android/Windows/macOS via AirPrint and other protocols, with features including panoramic printing, HEIPr processing, ICC profile selection, and printer pooling) and partner-manufactured wireless modules (DNP WCM2, Mitsubishi SelFone). The company does not operate a public API or SDK; integrations are limited to OEM wireless printing protocols and PayPal Credit for financing.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware and software sales with recurring consumable revenue from print kits, ribbons, and specialty media (metallic, silver pearl, holographic). The company employs between 11 and 50 staff, maintains three US warehouses for closest-location fulfillment, and offers free ground shipping on qualifying orders within the contiguous US. The company was previously known as imageTech Marketing.
