Good on-site printer

[Toogy]

I have been assisting a local pro in the area and have done a couple of jobs with him where he offered on-site printing. The results have been brutal, the printer he has (some sub-dye Olympus) is horribly slow and very picky.
We only get 20-25% of the pictures printed and then have to figure out how to get the rest of the photos out.
I am thinking he should be able to get something better than what he is using without spending too much.
What about the Canon i9900? Capable of printing an 8x10 in 50 seconds, or so it claims.
Has anyone used one of these on location?

What kind of power do you have on-site?

Some printers work only on AC. Some will work otherwise.

Even though it's possible to do printing on-site, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. Personally, I want the opportunity to do a little post-processing before I show the photos. That's just not possible if you're printing on-site.

We have AC on site.
I agree that printing on site is BAD, but alot of people seem to think they want it. And it seems to be a deal breaker if you don't offer it.
We do a crop, auto contrast and curves adjustment before printing on site. It is the printer that is the real problem for us right now.

Dye Sublimation is the way to go for dusty site printing. And a unit that is built for transporting. Check out the HiTouch line. I have two that have been running for a couple of years with no failures. Quality is top notch. 4x6 prints cost about $.32 each.
