What you need to run your event
Planning to use Plotterpix at an upcoming event? We've got you covered. Whether you're hosting 50 people or 200+ guests, here is exactly what you need to run a flawless, show-stopping drawing booth.
1. The core setup: hardware & software
When you buy a plotter from us, you automatically get a free lifetime PromptPhotobooth license. Zero monthly or weekly subscription fees.
Two simple setups — pick the one that matches your gear:
The Mac setup
What you need
Plotter + your MacBook + USB-C hub
Best for
Already have a MacBook and want a streamlined, laptop-based station.
The iPad setup
What you need
Plotter + your iPad + PromptPhotobooth Box
Best for
You want a sleek, touch-screen experience for guests. The PromptPhotobooth Box is a pre-configured mini-computer that bridges your iPad and the plotter — saving you hours of DIY setup.
2. AI credits explained
Every photo your guests take is converted into a digital line-art file so the robotic arm knows exactly what to draw. Our AI handles the conversion — realistic sketch or playful cartoon, your call.
Flat-rate pricing
$0.20 per AI credit. Same price whether you buy 100 or 1,500 — no tiers, no gotchas.
Credit packs
Top up in packs of 100 ($20), 200 ($40), 300 ($60), 500 ($100), 1,000 ($200) or 1,500 ($300) — buy what fits your event size.
No hidden fees
Credits are deducted only when you actually generate an image. No subscriptions, no monthly minimums, no expiration.
3. Consumables: paper & pens
You're free to source your own — but here's exactly what we use and recommend for the best results.
The pens
We highly recommend Staedtler Lumocolor Permanent Markers (Medium). They dry instantly, won't smudge, and look incredible on the page.
The paper
Smooth, high-quality paper so the pen glides perfectly. We recommend 10×15 cm (6×4 in) glossy advanced printer sheets — or paper designed for dye-sublimation photo booth printers (DNP and similar).
Branded prints
Want your company logo or event date on the prints? Send us your logo after you order and we'll pre-print it on the bottom of your paper.
4. Event logistics & features
