This Instagram-Printing Party Box Could Soon Be Yours

Sound like something you’d like to have at your next party? Probably not yet. Breakfast only made about a dozen prototypes, and they’re not exactly self-serve. Renting a device, complete with staff member to keep it running, starts at $5,000 — a lot of money to drop on a novelty photo printer if you’re not on a corporate marketing budget.

Breakfast hopes that, with some tinkering, it can bring the price tag on Instaprint down to about $399. But it needs $500,000 to turn its prototype into an DIY kit, a process that involves updating and redesigning 100 parts. It’s taking a stab at collecting funds — and gauging interest — on Kickstarter. So far, it’s raised about $40,000.
