New Kodak APEX system offers viable business opportunity

A growing entrepreneurial spirit among Filipinos has encouraged quite a number to set up businesses—from retail food shops and internet cafes to franchises and cleverly branded consumer goods.

For those on the lookout for new, viable business opportunities, Eastman Kodak Company offers the new Kodak Adaptive Picture Exchange (APEX) system which provides complete digital printing solutions using the latest Kodak technology. “The new APEX system is the most advanced laboratory solution ever launched in photo retailing, with a host of signature features including adaptability, profitability, simplicity and efficiency in an eco-friendly design that leverages proven, winning Kodak retail printing solutions,” explained Ditas Alipao, Business Development Manager, Kodak APEX.

For as low as PhP500K, anyone can start a photo printing business and expand it accordingly as the enterprise grows. The Kodak APEX is targeted at retail photo labs looking for a modular system that can be customized according to their needs. With the system, retailers can accept, manage and produce premium product orders. These products include the Kodak Picture Movie DVD–the only solution of its kind made right in the store in minutes with original artist music–as well as posters and single-sided or duplex photo books, calendars, collages and greeting cards using the optimum printing technology for each application.
“The Kodak APEX will appeal to entrepreneurs looking for profitable, low-cost business ideas. As printing of photos taken through camera phones continues to rise and the reproduction of highly customized photo projects goes on an upswing, the Kodak APEX assures businessmen of a steady market,” said Alipao.

Being a dry lab system, the APEX is environment-friendly as no wet chemicals are used in the printing process. Moreover, APEX requires 70 to 90 percent less electricity, a huge savings on the overhead. Boasting of greater ease of operation and flexibility that reduce setup and training time
as well as enhance the operator’s productivity, the Kodak APEX combines simple user interface design, substantially reduced number of media types, connectable and modular small footprint core design, and low capital cost.

“These make Kodak APEX perfect for entrepreneurs who want to get into high-profit business ventures in a booming industry. The Philippines is among the top market/users of camera phone printing and this is expected to increase in the coming years,” said Alipao.

This 2008, the Kodak APEX received the Innovative Digital Product Award from the Digital Imaging Marketing Association, a global organization that is committed to exploring emerging technologies, marketing and business innovations throughout the world. The prestigious award given to the Kodak APEX proves that the technology provides retail customers with an innovative system that helps maximize behind-the-counter revenue opportunities.
