HP Breaks Into Retail Photo-Printing Market

HP today marked its entrance into the retail photo-printing market with the introduction of a self-service photo kiosk and an in-store photo studio that will be rolled out in top-tier retail chains nationwide.

Albertsons, Longs Drugs Stores, Bashas’ Supermarkets and specialty photo stores Dan’s Camera City in Allentown, Pa., and Rush Hour Photo and Wireless in Corvallis, Ore., will be among the first to feature the photo-printing solutions at select stores.

The HP Photosmart Express station is the most advanced standalone, self-service photo kiosk dedicated to producing 4 x 6-inch prints quickly – in as fast as five seconds . The HP Photosmart Studio is the first and only in-store solution where consumers can design creative products in about five minutes – without having to crop or place photos into individual templates – and pick them up in one hour or less.
