KIS Photo-Me Launching High-Speed Kiosk with Memjet Technology

Imaging Leaders Collaborate on Inkjet Photo Kiosk with Page-Wide Print Head

LAS VEGAS, 8 March 2007 – Photo-Me International plc today announced that the company will conduct market trials later this year of a new category of high-speed photo kiosk using Memjet inkjet technology.
Memjet inkjet technology, developed by Silverbrook Research Pty Ltd., is being commercialized by Memjet Photo Retail Ltd. Market trials of the new inkjet photo kiosks are expected to get underway by the third quarter of 2007 at selected Photo-Me customer sites in France, and later at other customer sites in Europe, the Americas and Japan, Photo-Me said.
Memjet technology is based on a page-wide inkjet print head that enables low-cost, high-speed photo printing at currently unattainable levels, according to Photo-Me and Memjet Photo Retail. In addition, consumables are expected to cost less than standard inkjet consumables, the companies said.
“Memjet inkjet technology will enable us to develop highly productive, low-cost photo kiosks that will open up new business opportunities and generate increased revenue and earnings for our customers,” said Serge Crasnianski, CEO of Photo-Me International.
Photo-Me Vice President Nicolas Series added that over the years the company has many new digital printing technologies. Memjet, Series said, “is the first inkjet technology that delivers the speed and low cost to meet our product requirements. This technology will allow us to develop new categories of Photo-Me photo kiosks.”
David Clark, CEO of Memjet Photo Retail, noted that “Photo-Me has been a leader in innovation of cost-effective digital kiosks for photo retail. We are pleased to have Photo-Me as a partner in bringing this breakthrough technology to the photo retail industry.”
