- Expanding its portfolio of KODAK professional

These fast digital photo printers, complete
with built-in cutters, are ideal for event

to deliver durable, high-quality prints
immediately at the studio or on location.
"As the printing demands of professional
photographers grow, Kodak continues to develop
faster, smaller, more efficient printing
solutions to meet their needs," said
Brad Thompson, Marketing Manager, Professional
Output Products, Digital and Film Imaging
Systems, Kodak Canada Inc. "These new
printers easily integrate into photographers'
existing workflows. They're simple to operate
and maintain, allowing them to quickly set
up on-site to create prints in seconds and

the 9810 offers 8x10 borderless prints as
well as a minimal 3/8-inch trim between
sheets, generating improved productivity

capabilities and supports photo editing
software such as ADOBE PHOTOSHOP.

2005, the KODAK PROFESSIONAL

CDN $4,599
(MSRP).
KODAK Photo Printer 6850
The new KODAK Photo Printer 6850 meets event
photographers' on-demand printing needs,
providing customers with immediate results.
Additionally, independent portrait studios
will benefit from this low-cost way to produce
small format, glossy photos immediately
for proof or print delivery.
With improved printing speeds - 15 seconds
for 6x8-inch prints and eight seconds for
4x6-inch prints - the KODAK Photo Printer
6850 delivers as many as 375 6x8-inch prints
or 750 4x6-inch prints without operator
intervention, improving workflow efficiency.
Supported by WINDOWS XP and 2000 operating
systems, the print drivers on the KODAK
Photo Printer 6850 interface directly with
personal computers and laptops, making for
hassle-free portability. The KODAK Photo
Printer 6850 will replace the 6800 model
beginning in the third quarter of 2005,
while maintaining the print quality that
won the Digital Imaging Marketing Association
(DIMA) printer shootout and Technical Imaging
Press Association (TIPA) awards in 2004.
Available worldwide in August
2005, the KODAK Photo Printer
6850 will retail for CDN
