The new products include:
The universal Kodak Easyshare Photo Printer 500 (US$249), debuting with the world's largest (3.5-inch) LCD screen on a snapshot printer, which is intended for owners of virtually any brand of digital camera and recent camera phones;
The Kodak Easyshare Printer Dock Plus Series 3 (US$179), designed for use with Kodak Easyshareand Imagelink print system enabled digital cameras, which delivers automated Kodak Perfect TouchTechnology to home printing for the first time;
The universal Kodak Easyshare Photo Printer 300 (US$119), which produces realKodak pictures directly from a computer or Pictbridge enabled camera.
Both the Kodak Easyshare Photo Printer 500 and Printer Dock Plus Series 3 allow for optional wireless printing via Wi-Fi technology - an industry first for dedicated snapshot printers.
In addition, people can now inexpensively print waterproof, durable, stain-resistantKodak pictures at home for as low as 29 cents each with new 160-count paper-and-ink refill packs (US$46.99).
These products will begin reaching retail stores by October, complementing the existing Easyshare Printer Dock Series 3 (US$149), as well as multiple Kodak Easyshare Digital Photo Solutions packages that combine digital cameras, printer docks, and software.
For the first time, innovative Kodak Perfect Touch Technology is automatically applied to all pictures made with the Photo Printer 500 and Printer Dock Plus Series 3, resulting in better, brighter pictures with fewer dark shadows. People can also choose to reduce red-eye with the push of a single button.
The Photo Printer 500 and Printer Dock Plus Series 3 embed Bluetooth wireless technology to help people print from devices such as mobile phones and PDAs without cables or additional accessories. With the simple insertion of the optional Kodak WI-FI card, these printers allow people to print wirelessly from the groundbreaking Kodak Easyshare-ONE digital camera or computers on a home Wi-Fi network, a first for dedicated snapshot printers. The Printer Dock Plus Series 3 also incorporates infrared technology for use with a wide variety of portable devices.
