The Technology Behind the Magic
When guests watch their photo appear on a custom magnet within 30–60 seconds of being taken, they often ask "how is this possible?" The answer involves professional dye-sublimation printing technology combined with premium magnetic substrates — the same technology used by professional photo labs, now miniaturized for on-site event printing.
Our Workflow at an Event
Our photographer captures the image on a professional camera with optimized settings for the venue's lighting. The image is wirelessly transmitted to our printing station, where it's automatically composited onto your custom frame design. Our printer produces a full-colour, photo-quality print in under a minute. The print is then pressed onto the magnetic substrate and placed on the easel within seconds.
Quality That Lasts Years
We use only premium materials that are fade-resistant and durable. The magnets we print at events are still on Montréal fridges seven years later, looking as vibrant as the day they were made. Contact us to experience the magic at your next event.
The Photography Step Most People Don't See
Before any printing happens, a real photographer composes and captures the shot — checking lighting, framing, and timing just like they would for a formal portrait session. That extra care is what separates our magnets from a novelty booth print.
Why Speed Matters at Montreal Events
In a busy Montreal banquet hall with hundreds of guests moving between the dance floor and the bar, our under-60-second process keeps the line short and the energy high, without ever rushing the photography itself.
A Fun Speed Competition for Guests
Guests sometimes turn our fast turnaround into its own mini-competition, timing how quickly their magnet appears compared to friends who went before them — a small, playful moment that adds to the overall buzz.
