BUENA PARK, Calif., Jan 05, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Noritsu America Corporation, a leading manufacturer of digital imaging equipment, today announced a collaboration with Whitech, a leading photo kiosk manufacturer, to provide an innovative retail photo printing solution focused on the new Noritsu D701 compact retail inkjet printer. The Noritsu D701 is a high quality inkjet printer capable of producing a wide variety of print sizes to maximize revenue potential for the retailer. Retailers can now provide their customers with a full assortment of photo and photo-related products in stores. In addition to standard 4"x6" prints, the D701 can produce new photo revenue opportunities through items such as calendars, photo cards, locker prints and posters up to 10" x 36". The D701 utilizes a revolutionary new inkjet technology that radically improves the dye ink process to provide sharp detail and brilliant colors, while producing long-lasting prints that resist deterioration from ozone and light. Ideal for photofinishing and retail environments, the D701 is an extremely compact printing system, taking up only 4.6 square feet of space. Two D701 printers can be stacked together to increase printing capacity without increasing footprint. Other features include an order sorter that organizes print orders for improved productivity and the ability to switch between sheet and roll-fed paper, which enables the printer to handle a variety of print jobs for greater revenue opportunities. The D701 represents the fifth generation of inkjet technology from Noritsu and is engineered to deliver the same steadfast reliability that all Noritsu printers are known for worldwide. "We're pleased to work with Whitech. Their kiosks and software are consumer friendly and are being used in some of the leading food and drugstore retailers in the country," said Ms. Tina Tuccillo, Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Planning of Noritsu America Corporation.
