Lexmark International Introduces New Portable Photo Printer
Lexmark International Inc., Lexington, Ky., USA, unveiled the Lexmark P315 Snapshot photo printer, which offers photo printing ease-of-use features designed to uncomplicate the process of producing high-quality, 4-by-6 images. This portable "photo studio" does not connect to a computer. Consumers can print borderless, 35mm-quality images directly from most digital cameras or memory cards in any room of the home or in their office. The Lexmark P315 also allows easy editing for customized prints that can be produced as fast as 38 seconds. Light and compact with a built-in handle for easy mobility, the Lexmark P315 is essentially a photo lab that can be used anyplace with an electrical outlet, says the company. Key features designed to simplify the photo printing process include an adjustable 2.5-inch color LCD that allows users to preview and edit images before printing them. The large screen also features a countdown timer that tells consumers how long it will take to generate output, giving them the freedom to multitask. The printer is compatible with PictBridge-enabled cameras, and it also has on-board card readers that support CompactFlash Type I & II, Microdrive, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital Memory Stick (MS, Pro, Duo), Smart Media and xD; and Exif Print capability that immediately recognizes camera settings.
