Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

PMA Feb. 10, 2004--Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. today revealed its new Digital Photo Center Express (DPCE), an extremely compact digital camera developing print solution for retailers seeking additional kiosk capacity and improved traffic flow at a reasonable price point. The DPCE is a perfect fit for retailers who want the benefit of a second or third kiosk option to handle increased orders and manage traffic flow. This unique kiosk will be wireless enabled for fall shipment dates in order to make prints from Bluetooth(R) and infrared sources, and also provides additional workflow capabilities by increasing the number of images viewed on screen at a given time.


"The DPCE allows consumers to view and order from up to three images at a time, which allows retailers to increase the number of orders received per hour," said Jens Klok, Senior Product Manager, Photo Imaging Division, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. "We are committed to creating successful digital camera developing businesses for our retail partners."

Features

The Digital Photo Center Express offers professional-quality prints that can be easily and quickly ordered from a unique screen, which offers previews of up to three images at a time. The kiosk allows users to print select images, or to print all. No editing features are offered on the DPCE in order to maintain a high traffic flow for retailers during the ordering process.

The DPCE reads input from xD-Picture Card(TM), SmartMedia(TM), CompactFlash(TM), Memory Stick(R), Secure Digital (SD) Card, USB drives, and from CDs as well as Bluetooth and infrared sources.

Printing

The countertop kiosk, which measures 9 inches wide by 12 inches deep and 11 inches high, can be networked into a Frontier digital minilab or Printpix NC-1000 printer with optimal results. If the DPCE is connected to an NC-1000 printer, print sizes will be limited to 4x6 and 6x8. Kiosks networked to Frontiers are able to provide a wider variety of print sizes.

Availability

The DPCE will be available in fall 2004.
