Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) is announcing a host of new features and functionality enhancements in its digital printing solutions, along with new print media and film products, designed to deliver the best possible customer experience and productivity per square foot in the photo processing industry.
Kodak’s Retail Solutions Systems is introducing innovative new digital products, including four industry firsts:
Social Network Connectivity of the KODAK Picture Kiosk offers connectivity between KODAK Picture Kiosks and online photo storing and sharing sites like Facebook®, KODAK Gallery, and Picasa™ Web Albums. Consumers using a KODAK Picture Kiosk running the new KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0 with the social network connectivity feature enabled can easily access, right from the store, photos they have stored online, and then they can quickly and easily create sharing solutions.
Kodak’s Video Snapshots feature lets consumers quickly and easily review and select individual frames from their video files, convert them into still images, and then use those pictures to create prints, collages, greeting cards, photo books and calendars, or store them on a CD.
Kodak’s Pet Eye Retouch allows consumers to fix the very common and problematic pet eye glare caused by flash photography.
Kodak’s Facial Retouch is a market-proven feature that instantly smoothes wrinkles, diminishes and/or erases blemishes and improves skin tone for more perfect photo keepsakes. This technology was successfully tested and launched with major European retailers and is now available to all Kodak retail partners around the globe.
One-Touch Premium Products creates animated product suggestions before checkout using the consumer’s own images, allowing the consumer to purchase an additional product instantly with the touch of one button.
KODAK Adaptive Picture Exchange (APEX) Software v4.0 for its modular and scalable dry lab solution. Led by the new KODAK Net-to-Retail solution for Internet-to-store fulfilment, the enhancements in software version 4.0 open up a host of new in-store and connected capabilities with multiple Internet service providers. In addition, the new software now offers a wider range of products and new highly-efficient retailer workflows that give retailers the opportunity to grow their profits.
