Manual printing
Leave automatic printing off and send prepared jobs manually. Use this mode to check the layout, paper and driver settings before the event.
Autoprinter: print photos from a Windows folder
The photographer saves images to one folder. PrintStation picks up new files, applies your PhotoBaker layout and prepares print jobs. You control when they reach the printer.
PrintStation for Windows. One file means one print. Computer, printer and consumables are supplied separately.
PrintStation print queue
The working interface with demo data. A queue screen does not confirm physical printing.Prepare the folder, layout and printer
Connect PrintStation
Install the Windows app and connect it to your dashboard. Select a physical printer and paper size, then check a paper test print.
Choose a folder and layout
Select one folder receiving the photos. Use the event layout from your dashboard or configure a separate layout for this folder. Folder and layout settings are saved between launches.
Start watching the folder
Folder watching adds new files to the queue. Import existing files separately. Automatic printing is enabled separately: check the queue and layout before turning it on.
Adding a job is a separate step from printing
Automatic printing
After checking a test print, enable general automatic printing in PrintStation. Folder watching and sending jobs automatically are separate controls. An operator monitors paper, supplies and printer errors.

Practical questions
Check the whole workflow with a test photo before guests arrive.
Will dashboard layout changes update this folder?
The folder stores a snapshot of the event layout when you save its PrintStation settings. After editing the layout in the dashboard, save the folder settings with the event layout again and check a new test print.
Which files are supported?
JPG, PNG and HEIC/HEIF up to 10 MB per file. Save finished photos to the selected folder. Originals stay unchanged.
Can different folder files fill a multi-photo layout?
No. Folder printing uses one file per print. Multi-frame layouts with different folder photos are not supported. For a set of 2–4 photos from one guest, use QR uploads.
Is internet access required?
Yes. Internet access is required for entitlement checks and preparing branded output. Do not rely on offline operation.
Why is there a separate import action?
Folder watching processes new photos. Import files already in the folder using the separate action for existing files.
Will my printer work?
Install its Windows driver, select the printer in PrintStation and test the intended paper size on real paper. Compatibility with every printer model is not guaranteed.
How much does it cost?
Free with a watermark. Monthly access without it: RUB 1,990 per month. Renew manually or opt in to monthly automatic renewal when paying. Disable renewal in the dashboard. Equipment and consumables are supplied separately.
