Kodak has unveiled an array of new products and services that show the power of pictures for consumers, professionals and retailers. The first product is the new KODAK Picture Kiosk GS Digital Station - an addition to the digital picture kiosk family - that creates a new category of medium volume retail digital photo printing solutions. The self-service GS Digital Station sports a 17-inch touch screen monitor and the ability to print from a full range of input methods, including bluetooth wireless technology. The GS Digital Station is fast - 11 seconds per print - and yields 750 4x6 prints per roll. It will be available for installation in Europe beginning October 2006.

The second product introduced by KODAK is the new KODAK Picture Kiosk G4 Software, V1.1, that brings a host of features specifically designed to maximize return on hardware investment for retailers and elevates the consumer experience. The V1.1 software creates photographic specialty products such as greeting cards, calendars and collages instantly from the kiosk without any additional hardware expense. A new "shopping cart" feature allows retailers to drive incremental sales of enhanced prints and enlargements—all printed in seconds for the consumer.

Additionally, the company announces its new KODAK EasyShare Z710 Zoom Digital Camera, that combines advanced photographic features with point-and-shoot simplicity. With a 7.1 megapixel image sensor and 10X optical zoom, the Z710 model makes it simple to zoom and capture crisp shots that can make high-quality prints up to 30 x 40 inches (76 x 102 cm).

The next product in the lineup is the new KODAK EasyShare Photo Printer 350 connects to camera phones for high-quality prints. Using bluetooth wireless technology, the Photo Printer 350 prints 4 x 6 photos directly from BLUETOOTH technology-enabled devices.

Enhanced KODAK Professional Portra color negative films underscore Kodak's ongoing support of the professional photography market. The recently released 160VC, 160NC, 400VC and 400NC films in the Portra film family produce finer grain, spectacular skin tones and improved scanning performance for greater enlargement capability.

New KODAK Nexpress Photo Bundle provides increased revenue opportunities for digital print providers. The Photo Bundle includes software and hardware components to enhance a KODAK Nexpress system for high quality digital photo applications. The professional advisory services included in Photo Bundle provide tailored assistance, training and workflow consultation to the growing number of digital print providers.

The company's new KODAK KAF-10500 Image Sensor—developed specifically for the LEICA M8 digital camera — continues Kodak's legacy of offering high performance imaging devices that result in low noise, high sensitivity and wide dynamic range.
