Fujifilm U.S.A. has announced the availability of Fujifilm Frontier Lite, for dry retail photo lab operations. Frontier Lite helps new photofinishers enter the market with a system that requires a lower capital investment and easy operation. Frontier Lite offers retailers a customizable solution that quickly produces high-quality prints. The convenience of this system makes Frontier Lite suited for supermarkets, drugstores, consumer electronics stores, convenience stores, or anywhere photofinishing services can be offered.

Frontier Lite incorporates Fujifilm's acclaimed Image Intelligence color management software, which provides excellent Frontier-quality prints. Incorporating two Fujifilm ASK-2000 Thermal Photo Printers, it generates 4 x 6 inch prints in approximately 4 seconds and 8x10 prints in approximately 40 seconds, using the ASK-4000 Thermal Photo Printer. A wide variety of other print sizes are also available, using these same printers.

As an added benefit to retailers, Frontier Lite can integrate into a photofinisher's existing system for prints in minutes, hours or days through connecting to Fujifilm's GetPix Kiosk Solutions, Fujicolor Processing, and Fujifilm's Get the Picture Online Service network. By combining print ordering terminals, Fujifilm's thermal photo printers and Fujifilm's online services, Frontier Lite is fully integrated with a high-speed film scanning solution, the Frontier SP500 Scanner, as an option.

Frontier Lite benefits include:
- Multiple kiosk support with a centralized printing center behind the counter;
- Fast, accurate printing with no chemicals and simplified maintenance;
- Highly configurable to suit photo center requirements;
- Provides the "Hours" option of the "minutes, hours and days" service level arrangement – Prints can be offered in minutes using the GetPix kiosk, hours using Frontier Lite, or in days through off-site Fujicolor Processing labs;
- Integrated film scanning option – retailers who wish to process film as well can connect a scanner to the system;
- Fujifilm's Image Intelligence technology which is used in all Frontier systems, including Frontier Lite, to ensure that the consumer receives a high quality print.
