Kodak Photo Kiosks offer privacy in photo printing
- 2nd generation machines arrive in emirates, Carrefour-
Following the runaway success across Europe and Asia, Kodak recently launched its second-generation Kodak Picture Kiosks in the Middle East, starting in the emirates. Following global testing campaigns to simplify the user interface, these second generation Kiosks offer the widest-ever range of personalised options such as adding borders, texts, turning photos into greeting cards or calendars, and even allowing for photo prints in sepia, or black and white.
Privacy in developing photographs
Dubbed as “your very own photo lab”, the Kiosks are stand – alone machines with easily operable touch-screens. This user friendly interface allows users to choose and print their photographs in private. Within seconds each print is done and if need be, can be further personalized to add borders, captions all on Kodak quality paper.
These Kiosks are now located in the electronics section of selected Carrefour outlets across all emirates. Additionally, users can only pick up the Kiosk pre-paid card at the cash counter for a discounted price of just AED25 for 50 prints.
Bluetooth option
Users can simply download photographs from a digital camera memory stick or from a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. The option for Bluetooth downloads is likely to make the Kiosk a popular option with teenagers and other technology early adopters, who currently take a bulk of their photographs using built-in cameras on their mobile phones.
Discount promotion
For a limited period, Kodak is also offering the Kodak Picture Kiosk pre-paid card at a discount price of AED 25 for 50 prints.
The Kiosks have been a major hit in several cites across the globe including Hong Kong, and London and is expected to see huge turnouts in Dubai and other major capitals across the region, with the roll-out commencing over summer.
