Prominent within the v5.0 software is Kodak’s proprietary image science technology, which delivers Kodak Perfect Touch Technology. New Kiosk Software Delivers Improved Image Processing and Enhanced Marketing Support: Kodak is launching version 5.0 software for its family of Picture Maker G3 kiosks. Similar to the Kodak Picture Maker G3 family of kiosks, the consumer-friendly touch screen lets people zoom, crop, reduce red eye and print the sizes and quantities of the exact pictures they want up to 6 x 8 inches. People will be able to order prints from just about any digital camera memory card, including SecureDigital (SD) cards, MultiMedia Cards (MMC), CompactFlash, Smartmedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and xD-Picture cards.


This new digital system offers a much smaller footprint on the retailer’s counter along with easy set-up and lower investment, while maintaining the most popular image editing features and print sizes. The self-service Kodak Picture Kiosk features a pedestal monitor connected to a Kodak Picture Maker G3 Print Station with Photo Printer 6800, which allows people to preview, edit, select and print their digital images in just a few minutes. “By extending our kiosk line with the Kodak Picture Kiosk, and creating innovative features and tools for our current G3 kiosk family, we’re generating new opportunities for retailers to leverage digital printing technology for increased sales.” Lower Price Points Offer Easier Entry into Digital Printing: Kodak has expanded its Kodak Picture Maker G3 family of kiosks to include a new digital system that will give retailers an opportunity to enter the digital printing market at a lower cost, providing customers with a broader selection of locations at which to print their digital pictures. “More and more consumers are using digital cameras, and in turn, we are seeing an incredible surge in the demand to print digital pictures,” said Patrick King, general manager of Consumer Output, Digital & Film Imaging Systems and vice president, Eastman Kodak Company. New kiosk features will enable connectivity for remote business management and remote service, and will also deliver real Kodak pictures through Kodak Perfect Touch Technology.

In addition, new developments to the Kodak Picture Maker G3 family of kiosks will help more retailers harness the potential of the digital printing market.

The new Kodak Picture Kiosk is a pedestal-style digital system, which has a significantly smaller footprint and weight than current kiosks, and is ideal for retailers who have not traditionally been able to justify on-site digital printing services. Kodak Picture Kiosk: Eastman Kodak Company today announced a new, lower cost digital printing kiosk product to make it easier for traditional and non-traditional retailers alike to gain entry into the rapidly growing digital printing space.
