Kodak to install 2,000 kiosks in Wal-Mart
Kodak will install more than 2,000 self-service photo-processing kiosks in Wal-Mart stores under a three-year deal between the two companies. The kiosks will allow customers to view , edit and order prints of their digital photos.
I guess that means HP’s attempt to woo Wal-Mart failed.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Wal-Mart
has found use of kiosks, which shutterbugs often use to print just a few shots at a time, has been rising faster than the use of its one-hour mini-labs. Wal-Mart said it has recently raised the price of prints from one-hour service to 22 cents apiece from 19 cents. That narrowed the price gap with instant prints from kiosks, which cost 28 cents apiece.
