Instabooth 2.0 with Monochrome Feature

Konica's white-based ink is specifically formulated to deliver brilliant results on dark surfaces. Traditional inks fade on black media, but white-based technology creates high-contrast visuals with exceptional vibrancy. At Print Tech 2025, guests saw this innovation demonstrated in real-time: black-and-white photos printed with white ink on black medium created stunning visual impact, perfectly showcasing Konica's printing leadership.

Most photobooths print full-color images on white paper—nothing revolutionary. Our custom IN:FRAME™ monochrome system is engineered specifically for high-contrast black-and-white optimization. Combined with Konica's white-based ink and black printing medium, it creates a unique technological showcase. Every print is tangible proof of Konica's printing innovation.

After the photo is captured, our IN:FRAME™ system automatically converts to pure black-and-white in real-time. The conversion isn't just grayscale—it's optimized specifically for white ink on dark media. Contrast is maximized, shadows are preserved, and highlights are perfect for white ink visibility. Guest watches the transformation on the display screen before approving the print.

Capture resolution is professional 4K. Prints are high-definition color separation for monochrome output. Print size varies (typically 3x5 or 4x6 for events), but quality is consistently excellent. Konica's white-based ink ensures crisp, vivid output. No bleeding, no banding. Every print is a high-quality keepsake that demonstrates printing excellence.

Guests input their name via the touchscreen interface. The name is instantly rendered into the photo frame design—positioned prominently and styled to match Konica's branding. The personalization creates emotional connection and turns a generic photo booth experience into a memorable, personalized keepsake they're excited to keep and share.

Yes. While this activation specifically showcased white-based ink on black medium, the custom IN:FRAME™ system supports any ink-color and media combination. We can optimize monochrome conversion and capture specifically for gold ink on black, silver on navy, metallic inks on colored media, or any custom specification Konica wants to demonstrate.

Our system supports standard print papers, specialty media (cotton, linen), coated cardstocks, and dark substrates. For Konica, we used black medium specifically to maximize the visual impact of white-based ink. Media weight, finish, and color can all be customized. All printing is handled through Konica's own equipment integrated with our system.

Absolutely. The IN:FRAME™ monochrome system is fully portable and scalable. We can deploy to trade shows, corporate events, retail locations, or permanent installations. Each activation can be customized with different ink colors, media types, and personalization logic. Multi-location simultaneous activations are supported.

Most brands talk about innovation. Konica demonstrated it in real-time. Guests experienced the transformation from color photo to monochrome optimization, then watched white-based ink produce stunning results on black medium. The entire experience is a live technology showcase. Guests left understanding why Konica is a leader in printing innovation, not because of slides, but through direct experience.

From photo capture to finished print in hand: approximately 10-15 seconds for processing and print production. Guests don't wait in long queues. They approve the monochrome preview instantly, and seconds later they receive their personalized keepsake. Fast turnaround increases throughput and keeps the line moving at high-traffic events.

Yes. Each guest receives a unique QR code or download link. They can access their 4K digital file immediately to print additional copies or share digitally. We can also support on-demand reprints at the event if guests want multiple prints with different ink colors or media types. Digital archiving ensures attendees have permanent access to their personalized memories.
