A well-known brand in the Australian photofinishing industry is adopting HP's printing technology. Ted's Camera Stores is installing the systems at all 22 of its stores.

Ted's Cameras will equip its stores in the ACT, NSW, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria with the HP ML1000 minilab, PM2000 front of counter system, and the HP Photo Centre for producing a variety of photo products including books and greetings cards.

"One of the key reasons we have chosen to implement HP technology is to move away from traditional chemical based photo production to a greener method," said Jason Robertson, photofinishing executive at Ted's.

"We were really impressed with the customer interface that the HP system offers. Our customers will be impressed with the range and choice of products available in one hour production and the ease of use the technology offers," he added.

The range of products include photo books, calendars, greeting cards and archive DVDs.

HP's systems were successfully piloted at Ted's stores at the Highpoint and Southland shopping centres in suburban Melbourne.

The implementation will begin in October, with completion expected by February 2010.

Last month saw an announcement that Kmart will install HP Retail Publishing Solutions in 184 stores around the country.
