The Sports Events Edition of the BallStars photo ball system comes complete with everything necessary to put on a first class photo event including the patented BallStars photo ball heat transfer press, color laser printer, photo event software and all other necessary green screen lighting equipment.

"In our research we found two key factors that guided our development," said Devlan Reeves, VP Marketing, BallStars. "First, the photo gift market is the fastest growing part of the photography industry. Second, everyone expects instant gratification. So designing a portable photo system with an integrated heat press system fast enough to be used on-site was essential for us to meet these two key factors."

Reeves continued, "We put our new system to the test last March when Spalding asked us to demonstrate our on-site photo ball event system at the 2009 NBA AllStar Jam Session in Phoenix, Arizona. At the 6 day event, we had to produce hundreds of Autograph Photo Basketballs a day. Each day we had to setup and tear down. So we recognized then that a portable, durable, easy-to-setup travel trunk system would be essential for the on-site event planners to be successful, so we created one."
