I'm wanting to do a DIY photobooth for my wedding. Is this user friendly enough for printing by my guests?

Depends on how tech-savvy your guests are. Do not try if your guests are the elderly kind who do not understand what is smartphone/download app/Bluetooth connection. Your guests just need to download LG's app on their smartphone to print any photo on their mobile phone (need to connect to the printer using Bluetooth connection which means 1 mobile phone at any one time). That also means they can print whatever they have stored on their mobile phone, hope your guests do not abuse your generosity because photopaper does not come cheap. No to speed cuz printing speed is slow, expect long queues if you only have 1 printer and 100 guests. No to colour quality, this thing prints with a greenish tinge.

It takes some time to install the app on the cell phone all the guest might not have phones that work with the printer

I THINK it would work. We used it to mount photos on for a banquet. It is beautiful paper. How it would go through a printer, though, I can only guess. Sorry -- I can't give you a definitive answer as we used it for something completely different.

The 500 prints 1200dpi so if you have the depth of field and your software can handle it, you should be able to print as "photoy" as any printer out there. Be sure to use very bright paper and maybe even consider sheets with a semi-gloss finish.

Yes, definitely. You will have to carefully configure your printing application.

As long as you have enough ink you should be just fine. I use HP photo paper (I'm pretty sure it's even 4x6) and I've always had mine turn out really nicely.

I've never used photo shop, but I can say I have loaded this up with SEVERAL programs at once, excel, word, two different stock trading platforms, all running at the same time and it handled it fine. Don't think you'd have a problem. As I have commented here before, the only issue I have with the computer is the speakers on max volume are barely loud enough. I had to purchase external USB speakers to listen to music while I work.

If it is a small regular printer it would be fine. If it is a all in one printer it might be to large and heavy. It is a cute table. Hope this helps. Judy

If by magazine proofs you mean printed word and photography layouts, I think it will suit your needs well. I've used it to print some of my photography, and it's performed beautifully. Choosing the correct paper will be an important step in getting the results you're looking for.

I own a software development company. If you want I can create an application for you at very low cost that can use this printer to print whatever you want

I have never printed photos personally. I am sure that it will print them, but I would not expect high quality photos.

I would think if your only printing 6.5x11 or smaller this would not be worth the investment. For non photo printing any good quality scanner should work. Also with 8 different ink tanks the cost of maintaining ink may be higher and unnecessary if not used for photos. That's my 2 cents.

I recently printed some photos of my grandkids on glossy-premium photo paper from Office Max and they turned out beautiful. I also printed some 4 x 6 prints. It is relatively easy to adjust the printer to accommodate different sizes, just read the instruction book. I would suggest printing on plain paper every 8 to 10 prints though, just to keep the inks from slight overrun. This would probably be avoided if you got a more matte photo paper. It's a great printer for any project I've tried.

It does color printing well, but not photo quality. I kept my epson inkjet for photos because this one can't do photos. As for brochures, however, it should be okay. I don't think that laser printers are meant to do as great of a job for photo printing because they don't even seem to make photo paper for laser printers.

The multi-rotor designs that I have looked at on Thingiverse are a little too big for the build platform on this printer. This does not mean that you couldn't make it work. You could redesign any components to a size that fits the build plate or use a tool like netfabb to slice the components into printable chunks. To make it easier on you, I would consider a printer with a build platform closer to the 200mmx200mmx200mm range.

Im pretty sure. I used it for my wedding photobooth background. Its not as study, but it works for the price.

I don't really use it. I did print one photo just to try it. I think it was excellant.
