Pictures are booming. Last year, photo consumers reacted favorably to Kodak initiatives, which made film more readily available and easier to buy and made taking and sharing pictures more fun. Sales of Kodak Max and Ultra 35mm films continued to grow at attractive rates, as consumers experienced the positive results of better overall photos. Advanced Photo System continued its momentum. Consumer satisfaction with Advantix film and cameras is at record levels and supports our anticipation of continued sales successes in the Advanced Photo System category.
Digital applications mean more fun and greater uses of photos.
We're making the benefits of digital photography available to all photo consumers. We expanded our global retail network of Picture Maker kiosks, providing convenient and easy opportunities for consumers to make and share copies of their favorite photos. We're expanding the base of photo consumers. In the United States, we launched our first concerted effort to provide incentives to young people to become more photo active. Special advertising, new media channels, and the availability of photo products where they shop, has resulted in increasing the use of Kodak products and services among teens.
