Press Release: ImageLink cameras and printers hit the market
ImageLink compatible cameras and printers hit the
market : One year after the announcement of the ImageLink print system - a
specification designed to simplify at-home picture printing - new cameras and
printers supporting the standard are being released. Joining a host of Kodak
EasyShare cameras and printer docks already released this year, Olympus has
announced the Camedia C315 zoom digital camera, the Olympus D555 zoom digital
camera and ILP-100 printer dock which are all ImageLink compatible. "Since the
ImageLink print system was announced last September by Kodak and a group of the
world’s largest consumer digital photography companies, the response has
been overwhelming,” said Yusuke Kojima, vice president Kodak Japan
Ltd.
ImageLink compatible products
Now with the first compatible products hitting
the market and others expected over the next year, people can begin to
experience the greater ease of use and higher satisfaction that this system
provides. “The ImageLink print system is one of the world’s most
important digital photography advancements for consumers and we at Olympus are
very pleased to be among the first to introduce products compatible with this
system,” said Mr. Bang Il Seok, director, Marketing Division Manager of
Olympus Imaging Corp.
