TORONTO, Sept. 21 — The Eastman Kodak Company has unveiled the Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Plus ($269.95 retail Cdn.), which makes 4-by-6-inch pictures from nearly any digital source. People can wirelessly transmit pictures from their mobile phone cameras to the Printer Dock Plus, which also prints directly from digital cameras and memory cards — all without the need for a computer.
Using the Printer Dock Plus, waterproof KODAK pictures can be printed at home in as little as 60 seconds each. It includes the ability to print one, two, four or nine images on each 4-by-6-inch sheet, which is ideal for both high-resolution digital camera and lower-resolution camera phone images. In addition, it incorporates PictBridge technology for printing directly from other manufacturers' cameras; a built-in SD/MMC memory card slot; an optional external eight-in-1 memory card reader for using additional popular memory card formats; and a dedicated multi-function docking connector for Kodak EasyShare 600/6000 and 700/7000-series digital cameras.
The new Printer Dock Plus can also be connected to a computer to print pictures stored on a hard drive, and is packaged with a sample photo paper and cartridge kit that enables people to immediately make 10 pictures. Forty-count refill packs ($32.95 Cdn.) include colour cartridges and a matching quantity of thermal photo paper.
